• Extract JSON Data: Implement functionality to identify and extract JSON objects embedded within <script> tags in HTML documents.
• Handle Multiple Instances: Ensure the script can handle cases where there are multiple <script> tags containing JSON data on a single page.
• Option for Formatting: Provide an option to format and prettify the extracted JSON data for better readability.

Example Usage

import json_extractor

# Extract JSON data from an HTML file
json_data = json_extractor.extract_from_html('sample.html')

# Extract JSON data from a URL
json_data = json_extractor.extract_from_url('https://example.com')

Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced
