[b]"What's the best way to parse HTML/XML with Python lxml?"[/b] or [b]"Python lxml: How do you handle namespaces

Depends on the project! For quick scripts or teaching, BS4 is king. But for production stuff? Python lxml no question.

The speed difference is *huge* when you’re scaling up. And XPath is just... *chef’s kiss* for complex queries.

Also, lxml’s `iterparse()` is a lifesaver for streaming large XML files. BS4 can’t touch that.
