Spider Agent HTML

Streaming HTML processing utilities for spider_agent — cleaning, content-aware profile selection, and intent-based optimization.

Overview

This crate provides fast, single-pass HTML cleaning using lol_html's streaming rewriter. No full DOM parsing required — O(n) processing with constant memory overhead.

Installation

[dependencies]
spider_agent_html = "0.1"

Quick Start

use spider_agent_html::{clean_html_base, clean_html_slim, smart_clean_html};

let html = r#"<html><head><script>tracker();</script><style>body{}</style></head>
<body><h1>Hello</h1><p>World</p><svg>...</svg></body></html>"#;

// Base: remove scripts, styles, ads, tracking
let clean = clean_html_base(html);

// Slim: also remove SVG, canvas, video, base64
let slim = clean_html_slim(html);

// Smart: auto-select the optimal profile based on content analysis
let smart = smart_clean_html(html);

Cleaning Profiles

Profile	Removes	Use Case
Raw	Nothing	Full HTML preservation
Minimal	`<script>`, `<style>`	Visual pages, screenshots
Default	Scripts, styles, ads, tracking, meta	General-purpose
Slim	Default + SVG, canvas, video, base64	Token-conscious LLM input
Aggressive	Everything non-text	Maximum token reduction

use spider_agent_html::clean_html_with_profile;
use spider_agent_types::HtmlCleaningProfile;

let result = clean_html_with_profile(html, HtmlCleaningProfile::Slim);

Smart Cleaning

smart_clean_html() runs content analysis first, then picks the lightest profile that achieves good token reduction:

use spider_agent_html::smart_clean_html;

// Automatically picks Slim for SVG-heavy pages, Base for simple pages, etc.
let cleaned = smart_clean_html(large_html);

Intent-Based Cleaning

Optimize cleaning for the downstream task:

use spider_agent_html::clean_html_with_profile_and_intent;
use spider_agent_types::{HtmlCleaningProfile, CleaningIntent};

// More aggressive cleaning for extraction tasks
let result = clean_html_with_profile_and_intent(
    html,
    HtmlCleaningProfile::Default,
    CleaningIntent::Extraction,
);
