Python HTML/XML parser for simple web scraping.
Project description
What is it?
DHTMLParser is a lightweight HTML/XML parser created for one purpose - quick and easy picking selected tags from DOM.
It can be very useful when you are in need to write own “guerilla” API for some webpage, or a scrapper.
If you want, you can also create HTML/XML documents more easily than by joining strings.
