Hi , I am working on developing a web crawler. Removing javascripts and styles is a part of the cleaning of the html document. What I want is a cleaned html document with only the html tags and textual information, so that i can figure out the pattern of the web page. This is being done to extract relevant information from the webpage like comments for a particular product.
For e.g the amazon.com has all such comments within the and tags, with regular occuring for breaks. So tags which appear the most help us in locating the required information. Different websites have different patterns, but its more likely that tags that will occur the most will have the relevant information enclosed in them. So, once the html page is cleaned, it would be easy to role up the tags and knowing their frequency of occurrence, we can target the information. Should there be any suggestions to help, please let me know. I would be more than pleased.
