Hello
I have used Soup, but I now prefer XMLHTMLParser, because I find it easier to relate the structure of the XML output to that of the original web page. It is also possible to use XPath to locate the target area more quickly. I particularly like Monty’s ‘Smalltalkish’ adaptation of XPath (see the last para of the class comment to XPath). Hope this helps Peter Kenny From: Pharo-users [mailto:pharo-users-boun...@lists.pharo.org] On Behalf Of stepharo Sent: 27 June 2016 10:03 To: pharo-users@lists.pharo.org Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] If you have to do web data scraping, what tool would you use? I scrapped all the magic cards (bad bad practice) using Soup. It could be easier but it worked for me. This is why I maintain it and added tests.

I know about ZnClient, Soup, NeoCSV, NeoJSON, is there something else that i'm not aware of it? thanks. -- Bernardo E.C. Sent from a cheap desktop computer in South America.
