tags = soup.findAll('a')
json = converter.convertAll(tags,join=True)
print(json)

Output

Upon running the Above Program, you will get the following output

[{'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-facebook']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://web.facebook.com/MisterDebugger'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-instagram']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.instagram.com/MisterDebugger'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-twitter']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.twitter.com/muibraheem96'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-stack-overflow']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/users/9140224/ijaz-ur-rahim'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-linkedin']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/muibraheem96'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-github']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.github.com/MrDebugger'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-building']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01c44a17a8ed828883'}}}, {'a': {'i': {'attributes': {'class': ['fa', 'fa-youtube']}}, 'attributes': {'href': 'https://www.youtube.com/ijazurrahim'}}}]

Other Methods

• There are total 3 methods labels(), convert() and convertAll() where convert() and convertAll() takes two parameters of type bs4.element.Tag, dict (optional) and three parameters of type bs4.ResultSet, list (optional), bool (default: False) respectively.
• labels() method takes two positional arguments attributes and text which replaces the respective names in output json.
• convert() method takes element (bs4.element.Tag) and json (dict: optional) as arguments. Whereas element is result of BeautifulSoup().find() and json is an empty dictionary or already constructed dictionary.
• convertAll() method takes elements (bs4.element.Tag), List (list: optional) and join (bool: default=False) as arguments. Whereas elements is result of BeautifulSoup().findAll(), list is an empty list or already constructed list and join is a boolean value. When join becomes True, same tags will append to one list and assinged to one tag name resulting a dictionary. For more information, see example files.
