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

I’ve been using pyquery for a while now, and it’s pretty solid if you’re familiar with jQuery. It’s not as fast as lxml, but the syntax is way more intuitive.

For raw speed, though, lxml is king. Just takes some time to get used to the XPath stuff.

Also, check out Selectolax if you want something lightweight and fast. It’s newer but has been great for my projects.
