Loading HTML with BeautifulSoup4
HTML#
The HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.
This covers how to load HTML documents into a document format that we can use downstream.
from langchain.document_loaders import UnstructuredHTMLLoader
loader = UnstructuredHTMLLoader("example_data/fake-content.html")
data = loader.load()
data
[Document(page_content='My First Heading\n\nMy first paragraph.', lookup_str='', metadata={'source': 'example_data/fake-content.html'}, lookup_index=0)]
Loading HTML with BeautifulSoup4#
We can also use BeautifulSoup4 to load HTML documents using the BSHTMLLoader.  This will extract the text from the HTML into page_content, and the page title as title into metadata.
from langchain.document_loaders import BSHTMLLoader
loader = BSHTMLLoader("example_data/fake-content.html")
data = loader.load()
data
[Document(page_content='\n\nTest Title\n\n\nMy First Heading\nMy first paragraph.\n\n\n', metadata={'source': 'example_data/fake-content.html', 'title': 'Test Title'})]
