catalogKeyClassesAndExample
^ 'It is composed of some keys classes:
- ==SoupElement== is the root of elements that are extracted during the parsing
of an HTML document. Contrary to traditional HTML Parser, Soup produces a
limited set of elements which approximate the HTML elements but supports
querying and extracting information.
- Soup. ==Soup== is the main public class of the package. It is the class to
interact with as shown by the tests.
The best way to get started is to get a soup of html elements using ==Soup
class>>fromString:== as follows:
