Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been messing around with beautifulsoup html table to json conversion lately, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. Like, it’s super powerful, but man, getting it *just right* can be a headache.
Here’s what I’ve found works best:
- Use `find_all('tr')` to grab rows, then loop through `td` or `th` tags for the data.
- Store everything in a list of dicts—super clean for json.dumps later.
- Don’t forget to handle edge cases, like empty cells or nested tables (ugh, the worst).
Anyone else got tips for beautifulsoup html table to json? I feel like there’s gotta be a smoother way to do this without pulling my hair out.
Also, is it just me or does BeautifulSoup feel like it’s 90% awesome and 10% “why won’t you work?!” vibes? 😅
Cheers!
