Even after looking at the examples, I have no idea what this software does, what problem it is supposed to solve, for what I would use it, nor what the input and output are supposed to be, nor any of the examples, which are not self-explanatory to me.
The live demo doesn’t work on my phone as well. It only shows the jsfiddle header and menu but no content.
The only thing I’ve understood that this is about parsing and extracting URLs and possible typos.
For starters, what does the first example try to achieve? What does the input syntax mean? How do I interpret the output?
- jpalomaki 7y agoIt takes in text that contains malformed URLs and tries to make sense what valid URLs they might be. I think the purpose is to extract URLs from formatted text, for example from discussion forum posts where they might be mixed up with HTML or other markup and contain typos (due to user errors or users trying to deliberately make the URLs undetectable). Might be also useful if you want to extract URLs from PDF. PDF to text conversions might cause all kinds of errors to the output.
