What is a jsl tag


Google maps place review commentaries page has a jsl tag, encapsulating almost the entire body of the page.

I tried to scrape tags but everything encapsulated by jsl is not recognized (tried scrapy's scrapy shell and beautifulSoup, both with xpath syntax. Also tried to use lxml library, without success).

There is not much information about this tag in stackoverflow and also in a google search, and I didn't understand anything about what I have found.

What is a jsl tag, and how can make it to be detected by a selector? Could you help me, please?


Solution

  • JSL appears to be an XSLT variant for applying templates to webpages - https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jelly/libs/jsl/index.html
