# node-readability

[Readability.js by Arc90](http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/) ported to node.js.

Blog post: [Server side readability with node.js](http://arrix.blogspot.com/2010/11/server-side-readability-with-nodejs.html)

## Requirements

* [node.js](http://nodejs.org/)

* [jsdom](https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom)

* [htmlparser](https://github.com/tautologistics/node-htmlparser)

## Live demo

I'm working on it...

## Example

    var readability = require('readability');

    //...

    // This is an very early example. The API is subject to change.

    readability.parse(html, url, function(result) {

        console.log(result.title, result.content);

    });

## Performance

In my testing of 140 pages with an average size of **58KB** collected from [digg](http://digg.com/news.rss), [delicious](http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/?count=50) and [hacker news](http://news.ycombinator.com/rss), the average time taken for each page is about **1.1 seconds** on a Mac Mini (2.4G Intel Core 2 Duo).

## Limitation

* no fetching next pages

* no support for frames

## Plan

* Performance optimization

* Better API, more options

* Support more readability features
