Best practices

  • Use specific tag names and attributes in find() and find_all() to narrow down search results and improve efficiency.

  • Always specify the parser (like 'html.parser' or 'lxml') when creating a BeautifulSoup object to ensure consistent parsing across different platforms.

  • Utilize the limit parameter in find_all() to restrict the number of results returned, which is especially useful for large documents.

  • When using find_all(), consider iterating over the result set to handle each element individually, which allows for more granular manipulation or inspection of data.
