Parse HTML in Swift with SwiftSoup (2023) - iOS

Great video!! I wonder why dont u use storyboard to setup UI?

[@adiks09]

Are u serious?

[@thagionjack8132]

​@@adiks09 Yep, Im I wrong??

[@tokero5199]

Because they are horrible! Also this video is not about UI... What I dont get is why he uses WKWebView instead of just grabbing the HTML with a URL session...

@@denisblack9897 Not really. If you just want to scrape som HTML a basic URLSession would suffice.

Can you use SwiftSoup to navigate through a website too? Or is it exclusively for scraping?

You can with javascript calls
