HTML Parsing

HHTML Parsing is the process of analyzing HTML documents and extracting data. This involves reading the HTML code of a web page, understanding its structure, and identifying the elements that contain the desired information. HTML parsing is a fundamental step in web scraping, as it allows for the extraction of data embedded in HTML tags. Libraries like Beautiful Soup and lxml in Python, and Cheerio in JavaScript, are commonly used for HTML parsing. These tools provide methods for navigating the HTML tree, selecting elements using CSS selectors or XPath, and extracting text or attribute values. Effective HTML parsing is crucial for accurate and efficient data extraction from web pages.
