Crate kawat 

kawat

A Rust library for web content extraction, inspired by trafilatura.

Extracts main text, metadata, and comments from HTML documents with a multi-algorithm fallback cascade.

Usage

use kawat::{extract, fetch_url, ExtractorOptions};

// From URL
let html = fetch_url("https://example.org/article").unwrap();
let text = extract(&html, &ExtractorOptions::default()).unwrap();

// With options
let options = ExtractorOptions {
    with_metadata: true,
    ..Default::default()
};
let text = extract(&html, &options).unwrap();

Name

Kawat is Indonesian for “wire” — the same metallurgical metaphor as trafilatura (Italian for “wire drawing”), symbolizing the refinement of raw HTML into clean, structured text.
