Current problems and mistakes of web scraping in Python and tricks to solve them!
My journey in web scraping started in 2016 when I was solving lead generation challenges for a small company. Initially, I used off-the-shelf solutions such as Import.io and Kimono Labs. However, I quickly encountered limitations such as blocking, inaccurate data extraction, and performance issues. This led me to learn Python. Those were the glory days when requests and lxml/beautifulsoup were enough to extract data from most websites. And if you knew how to work with threads, you were already a respected expert :)

Parsing XML file deletes whitespace. How to avoid it?
I got curious about this now so I did some tests on my own, and it appears that the XML parser implementation in Python does indeed strip all newline characters from attributes. Whether this is according to XML standard I do not know; I also briefly tried an alternative XML implementation for Python and it behaves the same, so I would assume that this is standard behavior, but I'm not knowledgable enough about XML to say for certain.

although I don't follow the need to have what appears to be two completely separate HTML parsing C libraries as dependencies; seeing this in the readme for Modest gives me the shivers because lxml has _seen some shit_
> Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.
although its other dep seems much more cognizant about the HTML5 standard, for whatever that's worth: https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor#lexbor
