## What it is
boilerpipe is a Java library for removing boilerplate (ads, navigation, headers) from HTML pages and extracting the main full text content. It implements heuristic algorithms for article extraction from web pages.

## Use cases
- extract article text from html pages
- remove boilerplate from web pages
- get main content of a news article
- clean html for text mining
- extract fulltext from web documents for nlp

## When to choose
- you need proven, fast boilerplate removal in a JVM application
- you are extracting article text from many web pages for analysis or indexing

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent fixes
- you need a non-JVM language without bindings
- you need modern JavaScript-rendered page extraction

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: nlp, parser, web-scraping
- domain: web-development, crawlers
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: html-extraction, boilerplate-removal, content-extraction, text-extraction, natural-language-processing
