¹ **Note:** BS4's `find_previous`/`find_all_previous` searches all preceding elements in document order, while Scrapling's `path` only returns ancestors (the parent chain). These are not exact equivalents, but ancestor search covers the most common use case.
**One key point to remember**: BeautifulSoup offers features for modifying and manipulating the page after it has been parsed. Scrapling focuses more on scraping the page faster for you, and then you can do what you want with the extracted information. So, two different tools can be used in Web Scraping, but one of them specializes in Web Scraping :)
