gazpachovshtml5-parser
gazpacho is a Python library for scraping web pages. It is designed to make it easy to extract information from a web page by providing a simple and intuitive API for working with the page's structure.
gazpacho uses the requests library to download the page and the lxml library to parse the HTML or XML code. It provides a way to search for elements in the page using CSS selectors, similar to BeautifulSoup.
To use gazpacho, you first need to install it via pip by running pip install gazpacho. Once it is installed, you can use the gazpacho.get() function to download a web page and create a gazpacho object. For example:
from gazpacho import get, Soup
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping"
html = get(url)
soup = Soup(html)
print(soup.find('title').text)
Once you have a gazpacho object, you can use the find() and find_all() methods to search for elements in the page using CSS selectors, similar to BeautifulSoup.
gazpacho also supports searching using the select() method, which returns the first matching element, and the select_all() method, which returns all matching elements.
html5-parser is a Python library for parsing HTML and XML documents.
A fast implementation of the HTML 5 parsing spec for Python. Parsing is done in C using a variant of the gumbo parser. The gumbo parse tree is then transformed into an lxml tree, also in C, yielding parse times that can be a thirtieth of the html5lib parse times. That is a speedup of 30x. This differs, for instance, from the gumbo python bindings, where the initial parsing is done in C but the transformation into the final tree is done in python.
It is built on top of the popular lxml library and provides a simple and intuitive API for working with the document's structure.
html5-parser uses the HTML5 parsing algorithm, which is more lenient and forgiving than the traditional XML-based parsing algorithm. This means that it can parse HTML documents with malformed or missing tags and still produce a usable parse tree.
To use html5-parser, you first need to install it via pip by running pip install html5-parser.
Once it is installed, you can use the html5_parser.parse() function to parse an HTML document and create a parse tree. For example:
from html5_parser import parse
html_string = "<html><body>Hello, World!</body></html>"
root = parse(html_string)
print(root.tag) # html
Once you have a parse tree, you can use the find() and findall() methods to search for elements
in the document similar to BeautifulSoup.
html5-parser also supports searching using xpath, similar to lxml.
Example Use
from gazpacho import get, Soup
# gazpacho can retrieve web pages
url = "https://webscraping.fyi/"
html = get(url)
# and parse them:
soup = Soup(html)
print(soup.find('title').text)
# search for elements like beautifulsoup:
body = soup.find("div", {"class":"item"})
print(body.text)
from html5_parser import parse
html_string = "<html><body>Hello, World!</body></html>"
root = parse(html_string)
print(root.tag) # html
body = root.find("body")
# or find all
print(body.text) # "Hello, World!"
for el in root.findall("p"):
print(el.text) # "Hello
