Node.Js module for extracting web page content?

Question

Can somebody recommend a Node.Js module or a Javascript library (not based on Readability), which can be used to extract content from web pages and RSS feeds?

I found a good PHP library that can do the job - http://fivefilters.org/content-only/ - but looking for a Node.Js module that would do the same.

Thank you!

Answer 1

I wrote a Node.js module just for this purpose called 'unfluff':

Hopefully that will solve your problem.

Unfluff is based on the popular "python-goose" and "goose" (Scala) page extraction libraries in case you are familiar with those.

Answer 2

I would recommend cheerio. There are a couple of good tutorials out there including this one:

Answer 3

extract-main-text also can extract content well from HTML. node-unfluff is not stable for Japanese(maybe CJK) contents in my case.
