Web Crawler 3000 v1.0 - The Ultimate Link Gobbler Edition brings you a Go-powered web-crawling experience that’s faster, smarter, and more ravenous for links than ever!
🔥 Key Highlights:
- BFS-Driven Crawling: This release introduces true queue-based Breadth-First Search (BFS), making sure no link gets left behind (or visited twice).
- Absolute URL Resolution: Our crawler has finally figured out how to handle those pesky relative URLs! Now it converts all links to absolute URLs, effortlessly exploring every corner of a site without wandering off-track.
- Intelligent Link Filtering: No more crawling into “mailto:” or “tel:” links. This bot is web-only, and it’s serious about it! If it’s not HTTP or HTTPS, Web Crawler 3000 will pass.
🛠️ Improved Robustness:
- Cycle Detection: The crawler uses a
linksmap to keep track of where it’s been, so it won’t waste time re-visiting links or get stuck in loops. - Streamlined Link Queue: All links are stored in a queue, ensuring a smooth, organized crawl from start to finish.
💡 Perfect For:
- Exploring Website Structures: Peek into the skeleton of any website, gather its links, and see the hidden web.
- Testing Crawling Logic: Want to build your own web scraper? This project is a solid foundation with easy-to-read Go code.
- Just For Fun: Crawl, conquer, and marvel as Web Crawler 3000 does all the hard work while you watch the links flow.
