soupstars 1.2.0

Declarative web parsers

Soupstars :stew: :star: :boom:

Soupstars makes it easier than ever to build web parsers in Python.

Install it with pip.

pip install soupstars

Let's go!

Quickstart

You need two objects to get started.

>>> from soupstars import Parser, serialize

We'll build a parser to extract data from a github page.

>>> class GithubParser(Parser):
...    "Parse data from a github page"
...
...    @serialize
...    def title(self):
...        return str(self.h1.text.strip())

Now all we need is a github web page to parse.

>>> parser = GithubParser("https://github.com/tjwaterman99/soupstars")

Let's see what we've got!

>>> parser.to_dict()
{'title': 'tjwaterman99/soupstars'}

You're now ready to start building your own web parsers with soupstars. Nice job. :beers:
