Crates.io Documentation License: MIT Rust


A Rust crate designed to extract, clean, and convert web content from URLs found in text messages into clean Markdown format. Originally created as an auxiliary component for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions to process URLs submitted by users.

๐Ÿ“‹ Table of Contents

Overview

Markdown Harvest was initially developed as part of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system where users submit text containing URLs, and the system needs to extract meaningful content from those URLs for further analysis or processing. This crate handles the extraction, cleaning, and structuring of web content automatically.

๐ŸŽฏ Why Markdown Harvest?

  • ๐Ÿš€ Built for AI/RAG Systems: Specifically designed for content preprocessing in AI workflows
  • ๐Ÿงน Smart Content Extraction: Removes ads, navigation, and irrelevant elements automatically
  • ๐Ÿ“ Markdown Output: Clean, structured Markdown perfect for LLM processing
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Batch Processing: Handle multiple URLs efficiently in a single operation
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Robust Error Handling: Gracefully handles network issues and invalid URLs

    let config = HttpConfig::default(); // Use default HTTP configuration
    let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(text.to_string(), config);
    
    for (url, content) in results {
        println!("URL: {}\nContent: {}", url, content);
    }
}

๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
markdown-harvest = "0.1.5"

# For RAG systems with semantic chunking and overlap support
markdown-harvest = { version = "0.1.5", features = ["chunks"] }

๐Ÿ“š Usage Examples

๐Ÿ“ Synchronous Processing (Traditional)

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

fn main() {
    let text = "Check out this article: https://example.com/article.html and this one too: https://news.site.com/story";
    
    // Use default configuration
    let config = HttpConfig::default();
    let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(text.to_string(), config);
    
    for (url, content) in results {
        println!("URL: {}", url);
        println!("Markdown Content:\n{}", content);
        println!("---");
    }
}

โšก Asynchronous Processing (High Performance)

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let text = "Check out: https://example.com and https://httpbin.org/json";
    let config = HttpConfig::builder().timeout(30000).build();
    
    // Collect results in a thread-safe vector
    let results = Arc::new(Mutex::new(Vec::new()));
    let results_clone = results.clone();
    
    let callback = move |url: Option<String>, content: Option<String>| {
        let results = results_clone.clone();
        async move {
            if let (Some(url), Some(content)) = (url, content) {
                let mut results = results.lock().unwrap();
                results.push((url, content));
                println!("โœ… Processed URL with {} characters", content.len());
            }
        }
    };
    
    MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_async(text.to_string(), config, callback).await?;
    
    let final_results = results.lock().unwrap();
    println!("๐Ÿ“Š Total URLs processed: {}", final_results.len());
    
    Ok(())
}

๐Ÿ”„ Real-time Processing with Immediate Output

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let text = "Visit https://example.com for more info";
    let config = HttpConfig::default();
    
    // Process and display results immediately as they arrive
    let callback = |url: Option<String>, content: Option<String>| async move {
        match (url, content) {
            (Some(url), Some(content)) => {
                println!("๐Ÿš€ Processed: {}", url);
                println!("๐Ÿ“„ Content length: {} characters", content.len());
                // Save to database, send to API, etc.
            }
            (None, None) => {
                println!("โ„น๏ธ No URLs found in the provided text");
            }
            _ => unreachable!(),
        }
    };
    
    MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_async(text.to_string(), config, callback).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

๐Ÿ’ป Interactive CLI Mode

The crate provides an interactive CLI mode for testing:

cargo run

Then enter text containing URLs when prompted.

๐Ÿ”ง Advanced HTTP Configuration

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

fn main() {
    let text = "Articles: https://site1.com and https://site2.com";
    
    // Custom HTTP configuration with Builder pattern
    let config = HttpConfig::builder()
        .timeout(10000)        // 10 second timeout
        .max_redirect(5)       // Allow up to 5 redirects
        .cookie_store(true)    // Enable cookie storage for sessions
        .build();
    
    let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(text.to_string(), config);
    
    for (url, content) in results {
        println!("Processed: {}", url);
        println!("Content length: {} chars", content.len());
    }
}

๐ŸŽฏ Different Configuration Examples

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

// Quick timeout for fast responses only
let fast_config = HttpConfig::builder()
    .timeout(3000)  // 3 seconds
    .build();

// Conservative configuration for slow sites
let patient_config = HttpConfig::builder()
    .timeout(30000)     // 30 seconds
    .max_redirect(10)   // More redirects allowed
    .cookie_store(true) // Handle authentication
    .build();

// Use different configs for different scenarios
let urgent_text = "Breaking news: https://news-site.com/urgent";
let deep_text = "Research: https://academic-site.edu/paper";

let urgent_results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(urgent_text.to_string(), fast_config);
let research_results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(deep_text.to_string(), patient_config);

๐Ÿ“ฆ Semantic Chunking for RAG Systems (chunks feature)

Feature gate: chunks - Enable with markdown-harvest = { version = "0.1.5", features = ["chunks"] }

The chunks feature provides semantic text splitting optimized for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems using MarkdownSplitter with intelligent boundary detection.

๐Ÿ”„ Synchronous Chunking

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

#[cfg(feature = "chunks")]
fn main() {
    let text = "Research these articles: https://example.com/article1 and https://example.com/article2";
    let config = HttpConfig::default();
    let chunk_size = 1000; // 1000 characters per chunk
    
    let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_as_chunks(
        text.to_string(), 
        config, 
        chunk_size,
        Some(100) // 100 characters overlap for better context preservation
    );
    
    for (url, chunks) in results {
        println!("๐Ÿ“„ URL: {}", url);
        println!("๐Ÿ“ฆ Generated {} semantic chunks:", chunks.len());
        
        for (i, chunk) in chunks.iter().enumerate() {
            println!("  Chunk {}: {} chars", i + 1, chunk.len());
            println!("  Content: {}\n---", chunk.chars().take(100).collect::<String>());
        }
    }
}

โšก Asynchronous Chunking

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};

#[cfg(feature = "chunks")]
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let text = "Process these for RAG: https://docs.example.com https://blog.example.com";
    let config = HttpConfig::builder()
        .timeout(15000)
        .build();
    let chunk_size = 800; // Optimal for embedding models
    
    // Real-time chunk processing for RAG pipeline
    let callback = |url: Option<String>, chunks: Option<Vec<String>>| async move {
        match (url, chunks) {
            (Some(url), Some(chunks)) => {
                println!("๐Ÿ”— Processing {} chunks from: {}", chunks.len(), url);
                
                for (i, chunk) in chunks.iter().enumerate() {
                    println!("  ๐Ÿ“ฆ Chunk {}: {} chars", i + 1, chunk.len());
                    
                    // RAG Pipeline Integration:
                    // 1. Generate embeddings for this semantic chunk
                    // 2. Store in vector database with metadata
                    // 3. Index for semantic search
                    // 4. Preserve document context and structure
                }
            }
            (None, None) => {
                println!("โ„น๏ธ No URLs found in text");
            }
            _ => unreachable!(),
        }
    };
    
    MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_as_chunks_async(
        text.to_string(),
        config,
        chunk_size,
        Some(80), // 80 characters overlap - optimal for embedding models
        callback
    ).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

๐Ÿง  Semantic Chunking Benefits

The MarkdownSplitter uses intelligent semantic levels for optimal RAG performance:

  1. ๐Ÿ“Š Heading Preservation: Keeps headers with their content sections
  2. ๐Ÿ“ Paragraph Integrity: Maintains paragraph boundaries and flow
  3. ๐Ÿ“‹ List Coherence: Preserves list items and hierarchical structure
  4. ๐Ÿ’ป Code Block Unity: Keeps code blocks intact as single units
  5. ๐Ÿ”— Link Context: Maintains inline formatting and link relationships
  6. โš–๏ธ Semantic Balance: Optimizes chunk size vs. content coherence

Chunk Size Recommendations for RAG:

  • Small Models: 400-800 characters
  • Medium Models: 800-1500 characters
  • Large Models: 1500-2500 characters

๐Ÿ”„ Chunk Overlap Examples

The chunk_overlap parameter enables context preservation between adjacent chunks:

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

#[cfg(feature = "chunks")]
fn main() {
    let text = "Process: https://example.com/documentation";
    let config = HttpConfig::default();
    
    // Without overlap - standard chunking
    let standard_chunks = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_as_chunks(
        text.clone(), 
        config.clone(), 
        1000, 
        None  // No overlap
    );
    // Result: [Chunk1][Chunk2][Chunk3]
    
    // With overlap - better context preservation
    let overlap_chunks = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content_as_chunks(
        text, 
        config, 
        1000, 
        Some(200)  // 200 characters overlap
    );
    // Result: [Chunk1][Chunk1+2][Chunk2+3][Chunk3] (200 char overlap)
    
    println!("Standard chunks: {}", standard_chunks.len());
    println!("Overlap chunks: {}", overlap_chunks.len());
}

Overlap Size Recommendations:

Use Case Chunk Size Recommended Overlap Overlap %
Small Embeddings 400-800 100-200 chars 25-50%
Medium Embeddings 800-1500 150-300 chars 15-20%
Large Embeddings 1500-2500 200-400 chars 10-15%
Code Documentation 1000-2000 200-500 chars 20-25%
Academic Papers 1500-3000 300-600 chars 20-25%

Benefits of Overlap:

  • ๐Ÿ”— Context Continuity: Important information doesn't get "cut" between chunks
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Improved Retrieval: Higher probability of finding relevant information
  • ๐Ÿง  Better Embeddings: More coherent semantic representations
  • โšก Flexible Tuning: Adjust overlap based on content type and model requirements

๐Ÿค– AI Integration Context

This crate was specifically designed to serve as a content extraction component in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows where:

  1. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Users submit messages containing URLs alongside other text
  2. ๐Ÿง  AI systems need structured content from those URLs for analysis
  3. ๐Ÿ“ Clean, readable Markdown is required preserving essential content and structure while removing HTML markup, scripts, ads, and links
  4. ๐Ÿ”„ Multiple URLs need processing in batch operations
  5. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Reliability is crucial with proper error handling and fallbacks

The extracted content can then be fed into language models, search systems, or other AI components for further processing.

๐ŸŽฏ Perfect for RAG Systems

  • Vector Database Integration: Clean Markdown is ideal for embedding generation
  • Token Optimization: Removes unnecessary content to reduce token usage
  • Batch Processing: Handle multiple URLs from user queries efficiently
  • Content Quality: Preserves semantic structure while removing noise

โš™๏ธ Markdown Transformation Details

The crate performs intelligent HTML to Markdown conversion that preserves essential formatting while removing clutter:

โœ… Preserved Elements

  • Headers: <h1> โ†’ # Header, <h2> โ†’ ## Header
  • Emphasis: <strong> โ†’ **bold**, <em> โ†’ *italic*
  • Lists: <ul><li> โ†’ - item, <ol><li> โ†’ 1. item
  • Blockquotes: <blockquote> โ†’ > quote text
  • Scientific names: <i>Bertholletia excelsa</i> โ†’ *Bertholletia excelsa*

โŒ Removed Elements

  • Links: [text](url) โ†’ text (keeps text, removes URL)
  • Images: <img> tags completely removed
  • Media: <iframe>, <video>, <audio> elements stripped
  • Navigation: <nav>, <header>, <footer>, <aside> sections
  • Metadata: Author bylines, publication dates, tag lists
  • Advertisements: Elements with ad-related classes or IDs

๐Ÿงน Text Cleanup

  • Normalizes excessive whitespace and line breaks
  • Removes photo captions and image attribution text
  • Filters out navigation phrases ("click here", "read more")
  • Eliminates code blocks and technical markup
  • Preserves paragraph structure and readability

  12. ๐Ÿ”ง Final Cleanup: Removes metadata, navigation text, and excessive whitespace
  13. โœ… Output: Clean, readable Markdown content paired with source URLs

โš ๏ธ Error Handling

The crate handles various error conditions gracefully:

  • ๐ŸŒ Network timeouts and connection errors
  • ๐Ÿ”— Invalid or malformed URLs
  • ๐Ÿ“„ Empty or missing content
  • ๐Ÿšซ Server errors (404, 500, etc.)
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Blocked requests or rate limiting

๐Ÿ”„ Migration from v0.1.2

โš ๏ธ Breaking Change: v0.1.3 introduces a breaking change in the API.

Before (v0.1.2)

use markdown_harvest::MarkdownHarvester;

let text = "Check https://example.com";
let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(text.to_string());

After (v0.1.3)

use markdown_harvest::{MarkdownHarvester, HttpConfig};

let text = "Check https://example.com";
let config = HttpConfig::default(); // Add this line
let results = MarkdownHarvester::get_hyperlinks_content(text.to_string(), config); // Add config parameter

Quick Migration Tips

  1. Import HttpConfig: Add HttpConfig to your use statement
  2. Create config: Use HttpConfig::default() for same behavior as before
  3. Pass config: Add the config as the second parameter to get_hyperlinks_content()

The change enables powerful new features like custom timeouts, redirect control, and cookie management while maintaining the same core functionality.
