Beautiful Soup is an HTML/XML parser for Python that can turn even invalid markup into a parse tree. It provides simple, idiomatic ways of navigating, searching, and modifying the parse tree. It commonly saves programmers hours or days of work. There's also a Ruby port called Rubyful Soup.

This document illustrates all major features of Beautiful Soup version 3.0, with examples. It shows you what the library is good for, how it works, how to use it, how to make it do what you want, and what to do when it violates your expectations.
