iserter/php-goose
=================

[](#iserterphp-goose)

`scotteh/php-goose` is no longer maintained, so I created this alternative that supports the recent PHP versions.

There may be some issues, but so far, it's working 'ok'. Feel free to contribute.

- Extracts title, description, canonical URL, main image, and cleaned article text
- Minimal dependencies; works in any PHP app (framework-agnostic)
- DOMDocument + XPath heuristics similar to Goose/Readability techniques

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Iserter\Goose\Goose;

$goose = new Goose();
$article = $goose->extract('https://example.com/some-article');

echo $article->getTitle();
```

You can also pass raw HTML:

```
$article = $goose->extract($html, 'https://iserter.com');
```

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the path repository to your root composer.json and require dev-main while developing locally.

```
composer require iserter/php-goose dev-main
```
