html-extract/hext
Domain-specific language for extracting structured data from HTML documents
This tool helps you precisely extract specific pieces of information from web pages, like product details, article headlines, or contact information. You provide a web page's HTML and a simple 'template' that describes what you're looking for, and it gives you back the extracted data in an organized format. It's ideal for anyone who regularly needs to pull structured data from websites without manual copying and pasting.
Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need a reliable and efficient way to automate the extraction of specific data points from many HTML documents or web pages.
Not ideal if you're looking for a general-purpose web crawler or a tool that can automatically 'understand' and extract unstructured information without defining specific patterns.
