Crate article_extractor

article scraper

The article_scraper crate provides a simple way to extract meaningful content from the web. It contains two ways of locating the desired content

1. Rust implementation of Full-Text RSS

This makes use of website specific extraction rules. Which has the advantage of fast & accurate results. The disadvantages however are: the config needs to be updated as the website changes and a new extraction rule is needed for every website.

A central repository of extraction rules and information about writing your own rules can be found here: ftr-site-config. Please consider contributing new rules or updates to it.

article_scraper embeds all the rules in the ftr-site-config repository for convenience. Custom and updated rules can be loaded from a user_configs path.

2. Mozilla Readability

In case the ftr-config based extraction fails the mozilla Readability algorithm will be used as a fall-back. This re-implementation tries to mimic the original as closely as possible.
