Wiki Navbox Parser

This project is a parser for the data in the navbox section at the bottom of Wikipedia pages.

This data is great for gathering lists of data on specific topics.

Example

const { NavboxParser } = require('@etomon/wiki-nav-parser');
(async () => {
  let parser = await NavboxParser.fromUrl(`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States`);
  let collections = parser.getCollections();
  console.log(JSON.stringify(Array.from(collections.entries()), null, 2));
})();

[
  [
    "Presidents of the United States",
    {
      "title": "Presidents of the United States",
      "lists": [
        {
          "title": "Presidents of the United States",
          "listItems": [
            {
              "links": [
                {
                  "index": 0,
                  "title": "George Washington",
                  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington"
                },
                {
                  "index": 0,
                  "title": "1789–1797",
                  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_George_Washington"
                }
              ]
            },
