Method Description
The HTML tags appearing at the same indentation level are called siblings. The next_siblings property in Beautiful Soup returns returns a generator object used to iterate over all the subsequent tags and strings under the same parent.
Syntax
element.next_siblings
Return type
The next_siblings property returns a generator of sibling PageElements.
Example 1
In HTML form code in index.html contains three input elements. Following script uses next_siblings property to collect next siblings of an input element wit id attribute as nm
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
fp = open("index.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(fp, ''html.parser'')
tag = soup.find(''input'', {''id'':''nm''})
siblings = tag.next_siblings
print (list(siblings))
Output
[''n'', <input id="age" name="age" type="text"/>, ''n'', <input id="marks" name="marks" type="text"/>, ''n'']
Example 2
Let us use the following HTML snippet for this purpose −
Use the following code to traverse next siblings tags.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup("<p><b>Excellent</b><i>Python</i><u>Tutorial</u></p>", ''html.parser'')
tag1 = soup.b
print ("next siblings:")
for tag in tag1.next_siblings:
print (tag)
Output
next siblings: <i>Python</i> <u>Tutorial</u>
Example 3
Next example shows that the <head> tag has only one next sibling in the form of body tag.
html = ''''''
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Excellent</p><p>Python</p><p>Tutorial</p>
</body>
</head>
''''''
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, ''html.parser'')
tags = soup.head.next_siblings
print ("next siblings:")
for tag in tags:
print (tag)
Output
next siblings: <body> <p>Excellent</p><p>Python</p><p>Tutorial</p> </body>
The additional lines are because of the linebreaks in the generator.
