[b]"Can Beautiful Soup process JSONL files, or do I need another tool?"[/b] Alternatively, for a more direct approach

Honestly, BS isn’t the move here. It’s like using a hammer for a screw—wrong tool.

can beautiful soup process jsonl? Technically, you could force it, but why?

Stick with `json` module or `pandas` if you’re dealing with lots of data. `pandas.read_json()` handles jsonl with `lines=True`.
