使用BeautifulSoup从网页上抓取javascript / json对象？

Question

I am using BeautifulSoup to get the HTML of a webpage. That works fine so far. But what I really want are the contents of this javascript chunk inside the HTML, which is encapsulated with <script type="text/javascript"> and then inside that tag, eventually there is a giant array thing that has a lot of {} brackets, and I believe this is a JSON array?

Is there a way I can try to extract that entire array from within the HTML?

You are looking for the function json.loads .

>>> import json
>>> obj = json.loads('{"a": 12, "b": null}')
>>> obj
{'b': None, 'a': 12}
