Converts an article (preferably blog post) into a friendly JSON format.

A 5-min quick-app based on Sinatra that slurps 'url' of an article and spits out Title, Favicon, Excerpt, Body Text, Body HTML, Images.

Gems

• Pismo
• Thin
• JSON

How To

• Type: GET
• Parameter: url (Encoded or otherwise, doesn't matter)

The app is hosted on post2json.josephcs.com (Thanks, Heroku!)

Example: http://post2json.josephcs.com/?url=http://www.telecoms.com/50360/wasted-mobile-data-the-1bn-problem/

TO-DO Improvements

This doesn't work on VentureBeat. Wicked. I'm considering building a manual scraper based on Nokogiri for this.
