The Tag.children
property in Beautiful Soup returns a generator used to iterate over the immediate child elements and text nodes (i.e. Navigable String).
Examples
Consider the following HTML document:
my_html = """ <div id="names"> <p>Alex</p> <p>Bob</p> <p>Cathy</p> </div>"""soup = BeautifulSoup(my_html)
To iterate over all the direct child elements and text nodes:
The awkward spacing is caused by the fact that text nodes, which are line breaks (i.e. "\n"
) in this case, are also iterated over.
Most of the time, you just want the elements without the text nodes. You can do this using the find_all(~)
method:
Notice how text nodes are excluded.
