To use Universal Feed Parser, you will need Python 3.6 or later. Universal Feed Parser is not meant to run standalone; it is a module for you to use as part of a larger Python program.
feedparser can be used to scrape data feeds as it can download them and parse the XML structured data.
Chopper is a tool to extract elements from HTML by preserving ancestors and CSS rules.
Compared to other HTML parsers Chopper is designed to retain original HTML tree but eliminate elements that do not match parsing rules. Meaning, we can parse HTML elements and keep thei structure for machine learning or other tasks where data structure is needed as well as the data value.
