Use of next element function in beautiful soup

This recipe explains the use of the next element function. This function returns the element which was parsed immediately after the element.

Recipe Objective - Use of ".next_element" function in beautiful soup?

The .next_element function is provided by the beautiful soup (bs4) library to get the previous tag/element of the given element.

Beautiful Soup (bs4) is the web scraping python library for pulling the data from web pages, HTML, and XML documents.  

The ".next_element" function is the exact opposite of ".previous_element".

The ".next_element" attribute of a string to whatever was parsed immediately afterward.

Steps to use the ".next_element" function:-

  1. Import necessary modules.
  2. Load an HTML document.
  3. Pass the HTML document into the Beautifulsoup() function.
  4. Find any tag or element in the document or HTML.
  5. Use .next_element iterator to print the next element of given element.

 

Example:-

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

# load the projectpro webpage content
r = requests.get('https://www.projectpro.io/')

# convert to beautiful soup
soup = bs(r.content)

# printing our web page
print(soup.prettify())

soup.title.next_sibling

.next_element function:-

soup.title.next_element
