A Scala library to extract content from an article HTML: title, full text, favicon, image, etc.

This project is a scala port of Mozilla's [Readability.js](https://github.com/mozilla/readability) with a few tweaks and improvements.

Scala version is 2.12.

## Usage

Import the project with Maven as follows:

```xml

  com.github.ghostdogpr

  readability4s

  1.0.9

```

To parse a document, you must create a new `Readability` object from a URI string and an HTML string, and then call `parse()`. Here's an example:

```scala

val article = Readability(url, htmlString).parse()

```

It returns an `Option[Article]`.

It is either `None` when the article could not be processed, or an `Article` with the following properties:

* `uri`: original URI string that was passed to constructor

* `title`: article title

* `byline`: author metadata

* `content`: HTML string of processed article content

* `textContent`: text of processed article content

* `length`: length of article, in characters

* `excerpt`: article description, or short excerpt from content

* `faviconUrl`: URL of the favicon image

* `imageUrl`: URL of an image representing the article
