HTML scraper with templates

Project description

# weakscraper HTML scraper with templates

## Description

Most HTML pages are generated using templates. Why not use templates too for scraping HTML pages? As for a template language, let’s use HTML plus a few keywords. That way, the workflow with weakscraper is the following : * Get the source of a HTML page you want to scrap. * Using a few keywords, edit the HTML to select which information is of interest and which parts to discard. * If complicated processing is required, write additional callbacks. * Run weakscraper on the template and on the HTML.

## Pros * Observes the [rule of least power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_least_power). A declarative language helps to focus on what to keep. How the information is scrapped is the job of the library.
