Parse XML with BeautifulSoup in Python

October 2025

Need to install both BeautifulSoup and the lxml package.

pip install lxml beautifulsoup4

In the parsing, do something like:

def process_file(self, path):
    with open(path) as _in:
        soup = BeautifulSoup("".join(_in.readlines()), 'xml')
        print(soup)

end of line
