Proper API reference required.

[fsn7...@gmail.com]

I tried BeautifulSoup and Jsoup, ofcourse Python version looks much simpler, faster to write, but when I tried to understand how to use Jsoup it was much much simpler to me, because they have proper API reference (https://jsoup.org/apidocs/) where you can view all classes, all their methods... There are must be such thing for bs.

I believe this is a good starting point:
https://tedboy.github.io/bs4_doc/generated/bs4.html#classes

I am trying to port from Java JSoup to Python BeautifulSoup at present and am trying to determine the proper mappings of JSoup classes (for parameter references).

The bs4 documentation doesn't include yet an API Reference (in fact, it is already an open wished feature). The current one explains the usage of a lot of methods and covers a lot of aspects of the package.

I found looking at the __init__.py in the package installed give you the code for the classes to help provide insights.

I use the Beautiful Soup documentation page that phoenix mentioned, along with the autocompletions and tooltips that VS Code provides.

Note that Beautiful Soup 4.13 might hopefully have improved VS Code type inference for method return values, as described here:
