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

Honestly, I think it’s all about the trade-off between speed and ease of use. BeautifulSoup is great for quick scripts, but for anything serious, lxml is the way to go.

I’ve heard good things about parsel, but haven’t tried it myself.

Also, if you’re scraping a lot of pages, consider using Scrapy. It’s not just a python html parser, but it handles everything from requests to parsing.
