  Description     : Boilerplate removal and fulltext extraction from HTML pages

The boilerpipe library provides algorithms to detect and remove the surplus
"clutter" (boilerplate, templates) around the main textual content of a web
page.

The library already provides specific strategies for common tasks (for example:
news article extraction) and may also be easily extended for individual problem
settings.

Extracting content is very fast (milliseconds), just needs the input document
(no global or site-level information required) and is usually quite accurate.
