Soup Sieve is a CSS selector library designed to be used with Beautiful Soup 4.
|
||
|
|
It aims to provide selecting, matching, and filtering using modern CSS
|
||
|
|
selectors. Soup Sieve currently provides selectors from the CSS level 1
|
||
|
|
specifications up through the latest CSS level 4 drafts (though some are not
|
||
|
|
yet implemented).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Soup Sieve was written with the intent to replace Beautiful Soup's builtin
|
||
|
|
select feature, and as of Beautiful Soup version 4.7.0, it now is. Soup Sieve
|
||
|
|
can also be imported in order to use its API directly for more controlled,
|
||
|
|
specialized parsing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Soup Sieve has implemented most of the CSS selectors up through the level 4
|
||
|
|
drafts, though there are a number that don't make sense in a non-browser
|
||
|
|
environment. Selectors that cannot provide meaningful functionality simply do
|
||
|
|
not match anything.
