Beautiful Soup parses arbitrarily invalid XML- or HTML-like substance into a tree representation. It provides methods and Pythonic idioms that make it easy to search and modify the tree. A well-formed XML/HTML document will yield a well-formed data structure. An ill-formed XML/HTML document will yield a correspondingly ill-formed data structure. If your document is only locally well-formed, you can use this library to find and process the well-formed part of it. The BeautifulSoup class has heuristics for obtaining a sensible parse tree in the face of common HTML errors. This package contains v3 of the module.
