``itemloaders`` is a library that helps you collect data from HTML and XML sources.

It comes in handy to extract data from web pages, as it supports

data extraction using CSS and XPath Selectors.

It's specially useful when you need to standardize the data from many sources.

For example, it allows you to have all your casting and parsing rules in a

single place.

Here is an example to get you started::

    from itemloaders import ItemLoader

    from parsel import Selector

    html_data = '''

    

    

        

            Some random product page

        

        

            
Some random product page

            
$ 100.12

        

    

    '''

    loader = ItemLoader(selector=Selector(html_data))

    loader.add_xpath('name', '//div[@class="product_name"]/text()')

    loader.add_xpath('name', '//div[@class="product_title"]/text()')

    loader.add_css('price', '#price::text')

    loader.add_value('last_updated', 'today') # you can also use literal values

    item = loader.load_item()

    item

    # {'name': ['Some random product page'], 'price': ['$ 100.12'], 'last_updated': ['today']}
