Can you explain web scraping?

I coudn't find any understandable explanation of how web scraping works. Can you provide a working swift code sample so that I can get a hang of it?

There’s no one answer to this. If you read this, you’ll see it lists nine different approaches that are commonly used for web scraping. These approaches each require radically different code (in fact, one requires no code at all :-). The correct approach to use depends on the site you’re trying to scrape.

I recommend that you research these approaches, look at the site you’re interested in, decide on an approach, and then post questions about how you might code that approach in Swift.
