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

can beautifulsoup process json? Not elegantly.

You *could* extract JSON strings from HTML with BS, then parse separately. But that’s like using a sledgehammer for a thumbtack.

For APIs, `requests` + `json` is the way. For files, `json.load()`.

If you’re feeling fancy, `pydantic` validates JSON data nicely.
