What is BeautifulSoup

BeautifulSoup is a Python library designed for web scraping purposes to pull the data out of HTML and XML files. It provides Pythonic idioms for iterating, searching, and modifying the parse tree. BeautifulSoup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. It helps in navigating and searching the parse tree.
