Can BeautifulSoup Process JSON? Or Do I Need Another Tool? Alternatively: Can BeautifulSoup Process J

Yeah, beautifulsoup is for HTML/XML, not JSON. It’s like using a wrench to open a jar—just wrong tool.

If you’re stuck with mixed content (HTML + JSON), you *could* extract the JSON string with BS and then parse it with `json.loads()`. But that’s extra steps.

For pure JSON, `json` module or `pandas.read_json()` if you’re into dataframes.
