-Beautiful Soup parses a (possibly invalid) XML or HTML document into a
-tree representation. It provides methods and Pythonic idioms that make
-it easy to navigate, search, and modify the tree.
+Beautiful Soup uses a plug-in parser to parse a (possibly invalid) XML
+or HTML document into a tree representation. The parser does the work
+of building a parse tree, and Beautiful Soup provides provides methods
+and Pythonic idioms that make it easy to navigate, search, and modify
+the parse tree.
-A well-formed XML/HTML document yields a well-formed data
-structure. An ill-formed XML/HTML document yields a correspondingly
-ill-formed data structure. If your document is only locally
-well-formed, you can use this library to find and process the
-well-formed part of it.
-
-Beautiful Soup works with Python 2.2 and up. It has no external
-dependencies, but you'll have more success at converting data to UTF-8
-if you also install these three packages:
-
-* chardet, for auto-detecting character encodings
- http://chardet.feedparser.org/
-* cjkcodecs and iconv_codec, which add more encodings to the ones supported
- by stock Python.
- http://cjkpython.i18n.org/
-
-Beautiful Soup defines classes for two main parsing strategies:
-
- * BeautifulStoneSoup, for parsing XML, SGML, or your domain-specific
- language that kind of looks like XML.
-
- * BeautifulSoup, for parsing run-of-the-mill HTML code, be it valid
- or invalid. This class has web browser-like heuristics for
- obtaining a sensible parse tree in the face of common HTML errors.
+Beautiful Soup works with Python 2.5 and up. To get it to work, you
+must install either lxml or html5lib.
