Which Python HTML Parser is the Most Efficient for Web Scraping?

I’m a big fan of parsel for scraping. It’s super lightweight and integrates well with Scrapy if you’re into that. The XPath support is a game-changer for complex scraping tasks.

If you’re sticking with standalone python html parsers, lxml is my go-to. Yeah, the syntax can be a bit weird at first, but the speed is worth it.

Also, have you tried just using regex for super simple stuff? Sometimes it’s faster than pulling in a full parser.
