Nearly true. **Skrape{it}** is using jSoup internally to parse HTML documents. But since jSoup is written in Java it's neither null-safe nor intuitiv to use and read. Skrape{it} abstracts the idea of jSoup but it's easy to use by having a focus on readability by simplicity and has **native support for scraping of client-side rendered webpages** which is not possible with jSoup.
