Readability-like JavaScript library

Question

Is there a (client-side) JavaScript library for doing Readability/Instapaper-style uncluttering of HTML? ie Takes HTML for a full web page and unclutters it by removing headings, sidebars etc, to just leave the core article, using some heuristics. I'm looking for something like clean(htmlPageString).

I think readability itself is implemented in JavaScript, but there's no library for it.

Answer 1

Here is readability, encapsulated in a node module: node-readability. It works fine, but not in every case. I am currently looking for alternatives.

Answer 2

As per my reading, its built in javascript+JSON that stores the reading list of users in a queue in the form of JSON. It keeps track of the webpage requests along with time,date and some other specific information.

Answer 3

I think this JavaScript library is along the lines of what you are looking for. It is a standalone version of the library used to generate Firefox's Reader View.
