PageObject: Evaluate alternatives to BeautifulSoup #160

@bittner

Description

@bittner

Release 1.5.0 saw the experimental addition of PageObjects. Technically, this uses BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML content of pages rendered by a Django LiveServer.

@valentinogagliardi has recently developed unbrowsed, an apparently more performant testing library that uses the LexborHTMLParser under the hood. It might be worth evaluating it as a replacement for or inside the PageObject implementation.

In the meantime, it might be worth mentioning it as an alternative in our documentation.
