Definition
A Python-based parsing library used in RAG ETL pipelines to extract clean text from raw HTML/XML by stripping boilerplate; while highly flexible for data cleaning, it lacks native concurrency and requires specific parsers (like lxml) for performance at scale.
It is a document parser for content already fetched, not a web crawler or HTTP requester.
"A vegetable peeler removing the inedible skin (HTML tags) to reach the nutritious fruit (raw text content)."
