Epubparse-rs

⚠️ Work in progress

Requires Rust 1.56 to compile

This library aims to convert Epub files into text-only Book structures that can be used to do analysis of the contained text. It is published both as a Rust crate to crates.io and as a NPM package (ESM module) to npm. See the project repo for all components.

Design goals

  • ✅ serve as core to the epubparse-wasm library (must compile to WASM)
  • ✅ perform a reasonable conversion into a book with chapters
  • ✅ support Epub version 2 table of contents (.ncx)
  • ❌ support Epub version 3 table of contents (.xhtml) (not yet implemented, but
    many version 3 epubs also include version 2 table of contents, these should also work)
