Beautiful Soup
Appearance
The term Beautiful Soup originates with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and a song Beautiful Soup sung by the Mock Turtle during the Lobster Quadrille chapter.
It has since been used elsewhere:
Music
- Boeing Duveen and The Beautiful Soup, a British psychedelic rock band of the 1960s. In the style of its time, a direct reference to Alice.
- Australian composer Leon Coward's "Beautiful Soup" (2014) a lament for piano, string orchestra and vocal ensemble.
Computing
- Beautiful Soup (HTML parser), a HTML parser written in the Python programming language. The name is used as an ironic contrast to 'tag soup', the unstructured and almost unparseable HTML found on most websites.
