❓What is text extraction
Text extraction converts structured or markup-heavy content into pure strings so that downstream tools, search indexes, or summarizers can work with clean input.
✨Key features
🧼
Auto detection
Automatically chooses JSON, HTML, XML, or raw text mode based on the pasted content.
🧾
Whitespace control
Decide whether to keep line breaks, trim spaces, and collapse blank lines.
♻️
Deduplicate lines
Remove repeated sentences—useful when scraping verbose markup.
📋
One-click copy
Copy the sanitized text straight to your clipboard for reuse.
🎯
Use Cases

📚Technical introduction
🌐DOM parsing
HTML and XML input is parsed via DOMParser so only meaningful text nodes remain.
💾JSON traversal
JSON mode recursively walks arrays and objects, collecting every string value.
⚙️Normalization
Whitespace trimming, dedupe, and newline collapsing run after extraction to keep the output tidy.
❓
Frequently Asked Questions
❓
How does Auto mode decide the parser?
It looks for leading braces to guess JSON and angle brackets to guess HTML/XML; otherwise it treats the input as plain text.
💬
Will attributes or scripts be removed?
Yes. DOM parsing only collects text nodes, so scripts, styles, and attributes are ignored.
🔍
Does dedupe respect order?
Duplicates are removed in-place while keeping the first occurrence of each line.
💡How To & Tips
🧩
Audit scraped content
Use Auto mode after copying HTML from a CMS to see what readers or screen readers will actually get.
🧾
Summaries
Deduplicate lines before feeding the text into summarizers or indexing pipelines.
🪪
Compliance
Trim output before storing logs so sensitive data doesn’t linger in markup comments.
