In a real scrapy project, do you always use the xpath that comes with the framework when using xpath, or will you also use etree.HTML to re-instantiate it as appropriate?

because when crawling the target website, the get data returns a structure in json format, so if you want to parse the html string in the sub-field by xpath, you can"t use response.xpath (or there is another way, I don"t know..). Instead, you can parse the following sub-field of response.text. At this time, you can only re-instantiate xpath. Would you like to ask if this is the correct way to deal with it in the actual project?

generally speaking, scrapy's built-in xpath and css selectors are sufficient, and no other html/xhtml parsers, such as etree or bs4, are needed.

for json content, you can directly call json.loads () to parse, such as

.
js = json.loads(response.body_as_unicode())
js['xxx']

in the future, scrapy may also come with .json () methods (similar to requests libraries).

The html fragments obtained by

json can be constructed with Selector under scrapy.selector, and parsed with xpath and css selectors

>>> from scrapy.selector import Selector
>>> body = '<html><body><span>good</span></body></html>'
>>> Selector(text=body).xpath('//span/text()').get()
'good'

you can also use BeautifulSoup, lxml, pyquery and other libraries.
