# HTML Parsing
HTML scraping is based off [selectolax](https://github.com/rushter/selectolax), which is **over 25x faster** than bs4. This functionality is inspired by [requests-html](https://github.com/psf/requests-html).
| Library | Time (1e5 trials) |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| BeautifulSoup4 | 52.6 |
| PyQuery | 7.5 |
| selectolax | 1.9 |
The HTML parser can be accessed through the `html` attribute of the response object:
```py
>>> resp = session.get('https://python.org/')
>>> resp.html
```
## Parsing page
Grab a list of all links on the page, as-is (anchors excluded):
```py
>>> resp.html.links
{'//docs.python.org/3/tutorial/', '/about/apps/', 'https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues', '/accounts/login/', '/dev/peps/', '/about/legal/',...
```
Grab a list of all links on the page, in absolute form (anchors excluded):
```py
>>> resp.html.absolute_links
{'https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues', 'https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/', 'https://www.python.org/about/success/', 'http://feedproxy.g...
```
Search for text on the page:
```py
>>> resp.html.search('Python is a {} language')[0]
programming
```

```py
>>> about = resp.html.find('#about')
```
