#readability Objective-C

This is an Objective-C port of a python port of a ruby port of arc90's readability project.

The goal is that given a URL, an HTML document or a Safari webarchive, it will pull out the main body text and clean it up.

Currently it deviates from the original in various ways:

  • Some implementation details were changed for performance reasons, others to speed up porting.
  • It does not accept and produce HTML strings directly.
    • main.m demonstrates how to use NSXMLDocument objects instead.
  • There still are bugs in this port that are a result of porting.

readability-objc uses KBWebArchiver to create a webarchive from the input if necessary. Amongst other things, this enables the automatic encoding detection implemented in WebKit.

KBWebArchiver is included as a submodule. After cloning a main repository, you initialize submodules by typing:

git submodule init
git submodule update
