"Can BeautifulSoup Process JSON? Or Do I Need Another Tool?"
Hey folks, quick question—can beautifulsoup process json? Like, I’ve been using it for HTML scraping forever, but now I’ve got this JSON-heavy project.
From what I’ve seen, BS is *kinda* clunky with JSON. It’s built for markup, right? So trying to force it feels like using a screwdriver to hammer nails.
If you’re dealing with pure JSON, maybe just use `json` module? Or `requests` if it’s from an API. Way cleaner.
But hey, if you’ve made beautifulsoup work with JSON somehow, spill the tea! Or should I just switch tools?
(Also, sorry if this has been asked a million times—my search-fu is weak today.)
