Copied table?

[edit]

You can find the exact same table as in this article on this site: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/

I think it should be removed from the article because of that?

It should be removed from the article because it bears no encyclopaedic value, as it doesn't describe BS itself, but just repeats some detail documentation. Marcusmueller ettus (talk) 08:52, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I can see that you have already removed it. Thank you! --Swam pl (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So what's the point of BeautifulSoup?

[edit]

Article says that BeautifulSoup is for parsing HTML, but the table under "Advantages and disadvantages of parsers" shows BeautifulSoup apparently being called or initialized with other parsers, which presumably do the work. So BeautifulSoup apparently does not itself do any parsing, so what's the point of it? No doubt there IS a point, and the article should describe what it is.

– All items listed on Beautiful Soup (disambiguation) either do not have separate articles about them or are only WP:PARTIAL title matches. So I think the article about the HTML parser is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 93.72.49.123 (talk) 02:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
