Go-Readability
Go-Readability is a Go package that find the main readable content and the metadata from a HTML page. It works by removing clutter like buttons, ads, background images, script, etc.
This package is based from Readability.js by Mozilla, and written line by line to make sure it looks and works as similar as possible. This way, hopefully all web page that can be parsed by Readability.js are parse-able by go-readability as well.
Status
This package is stable enough for use, and up to date with Readability.js until commit 2982216.
Installation
To install this package, just run go get :
go get -u -v gitea.com/huiyifyj/readability
Example
To get the readable content from an URL, you can use readability.FromURL. It will fetch the web page from specified url, check if it's readable, then parses the response to find the readable content :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"time"
readability "gitea.com/huiyifyj/readability"
)
var (
urls = []string{
// this one is article, so it's parse-able
"https://huiyifyj.cn/a-case-for-using-void-in-modern-javascript/",
// while this one is not an article, so readability will fail to parse.
"https://huiyifyj.cn",
}
)
func main() {
for i, url := range urls {
article, err := readability.FromURL(url, 30*time.Second)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to parse %s, %v\n", url, err)
}
dstTxtFile, _ := os.Create(fmt.Sprintf("text-%02d.txt", i+1))
defer dstTxtFile.Close()
dstTxtFile.WriteString(article.TextContent)
dstHTMLFile, _ := os.Create(fmt.Sprintf("html-%02d.html", i+1))
defer dstHTMLFile.Close()
dstHTMLFile.WriteString(article.Content)
fmt.Printf("URL : %s\n", url)
fmt.Printf("Title : %s\n", article.Title)
fmt.Printf("Author : %s\n", article.Byline)
fmt.Printf("Length : %d\n", article.Length)
fmt.Printf("Excerpt : %s\n", article.Excerpt)
fmt.Printf("SiteName: %s\n", article.SiteName)
fmt.Printf("Image : %s\n", article.Image)
fmt.Printf("Favicon : %s\n", article.Favicon)
fmt.Printf("Text content saved to \"text-%02d.txt\"\n", i+1)
fmt.Printf("HTML content saved to \"html-%02d.html\"\n", i+1)
fmt.Println()
}
}
However, sometimes you want to parse an URL no matter if it's an article or not. For example is when you only want to get metadata of the page. To do that, you have to download the page manually using http.Get, then parse it using readability.FromReader :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
readability "gitea.com/huiyifyj/readability"
)
var (
urls = []string{
// Both will be parse-able now
"https://huiyifyj.cn/a-case-for-using-void-in-modern-javascript",
// But this one will not have any content
"https://huiyifyj.cn",
}
)
func main() {
for _, url := range urls {
resp, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to download %s: %v\n", url, err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
article, err := readability.FromReader(resp.Body, url)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to parse %s: %v\n", url, err)
}
fmt.Printf("URL : %s\n", url)
fmt.Printf("Title : %s\n", article.Title)
fmt.Printf("Author : %s\n", article.Byline)
fmt.Printf("Length : %d\n", article.Length)
fmt.Printf("Excerpt : %s\n", article.Excerpt)
fmt.Printf("SiteName: %s\n", article.SiteName)
fmt.Printf("Image : %s\n", article.Image)
fmt.Printf("Favicon : %s\n", article.Favicon)
fmt.Println()
}
}

Constants ¶
Variables ¶
Functions ¶
func IsReadable ¶
IsReadable decides whether or not the document is reader-able without parsing the whole thing. It's the wrapper for `Parser.IsReadable()` and useful if you only use the default parser.
Types ¶
type Article ¶
type Article struct {
Title string
Byline string
Node *html.Node
Content string
TextContent string
Length int
Excerpt string
SiteName string
Image string
Favicon string
}
Article is the final readable content.
func FromReader ¶
FromReader parses input from an `io.Reader` and returns the readable content. It's the wrapper for `Parser.Parse()` and useful if you only want to use the default parser.
type Parser ¶
type Parser struct {
// MaxElemsToParse is the max number of nodes supported by this
// parser. Default: 0 (no limit)
MaxElemsToParse int
// NTopCandidates is the number of top candidates to consider when
// analysing how tight the competition is among candidates.
NTopCandidates int
// CharThresholds is the default number of chars an article must
// have in order to return a result
CharThresholds int
// ClassesToPreserve are the classes that readability sets itself.
ClassesToPreserve []string
// KeepClasses specify whether the classes should be stripped or not.
KeepClasses bool
// TagsToScore is element tags to score by default.
TagsToScore []string
// Debug determines if the log should be printed or not. Default: false.
Debug bool
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Parser is the parser that parses the page to get the readable content.
func NewParser ¶
func NewParser() Parser
NewParser returns new Parser which set up with default value.
func (*Parser) IsReadable ¶
IsReadable decides whether or not the document is reader-able without parsing the whole thing. In `mozilla/readability`, this method is located in `Readability-readable.js`.
