 ## What is Yasuri
-`Yasuri` is an easy web-scraping library for supporting "Mechanize".
+`Yasuri` (鑢) is a library for declarative web scraping and a command line tool for scraping with it.
 
-Yasuri (鑢) is an easy web-scraping library for supporting "[Mechanize](https://github.com/sparklemotion/mechanize)".
+It performs scraping by simply describing the expected result in a simple declarative notation.
 
-Yasuri can reduce frequently processes in Scraping.
+Yasuri makes it easy to write common scraping operations.
+For example, the following processes can be easily implemented.
 
-For example,
-
-+ Open links in the page, scraping each page, and getting result as Hash.
-+ Scraping texts in the page, and named result in Hash.
-+ A table that repeatedly appears in a page each, scraping, get as an array.
-+ Of each page provided by the pagination, scraping the only top 3.
-
-You can implement easy by Yasuri.
++ Scrape multiple texts in a page and name them into a Hash
++ Open multiple links in a page and get the result of scraping each page as a Hash
++ Scrape each table that appears repeatedly in the page and get the result as an array
++ Scrape only the first three pages of each page provided by pagination

 This example, from the pages of each link that is expressed by the xpath of LinkNode(`links_root`), to scraping the two text that is expressed by the xpath of TextNode(`text_title`,`text_content`).
 
-(i.e. open each links `//*[@id="menu"]/ul/li/a` and, scrape `//*[@id="contents"]/h2` and `//*[@id="contents"]/p[1]`.)
+(in other words, open each links `//*[@id="menu"]/ul/li/a` and, scrape `//*[@id="contents"]/h2` and `//*[@id="contents"]/p[1]`.)
 
-## Basics
 
-1. Construct parse tree.
-2. Start parse with Mechanize agent and first page.
+#### Use as CLI tool
+The same thing as above can be executed as a CLI command.
 
-### Construct parse tree
+```sh
+$ yasuri scrape "http://some.scraping.page.tac42.net/" -j '
+{
+  "links_root": {
+    "path": "//*[@id=\"menu\"]/ul/li/a",
+    "text_title": "//*[@id=\"contents\"]/h2",
+    "text_content": "//*[@id=\"contents\"]/p[1]"
+    }
+}'
 
-```ruby
-require 'mechanize'
-require 'yasuri'
+[
+  {"title":"PageTitle 01","content":"Page Contents  01"},
+  {"title":"PageTitle 02","content":"Page Contents  02"},
+  ...,
+  {"title":"PageTitle N","content":"Page Contents  N"}
+]
+```
 
+The result can be obtained as a string in json format.
 
-# 1. Construct parse tree.
-tree = Yasuri.links_title '/html/body/a' do
-         text_name '/html/body/p'
-       end
+----------------------------
+## Parse Tree
 
-# 2. Start parse with Mechanize agent and first page.
-agent = Mechanize.new
-page = agent.get(uri)
+A parse tree is a tree structure data for declaratively defining the elements to be scraped and the output structure.
 
+A parse tree consists of nested `Node`s, each of which has `Type`, `Name`, `Path`, `Childlen`, and `Options` attributes, and scrapes according to its `Type`. (Note that only `MapNode` does not have `Path`).
 
-tree.inject(agent, page)
+The parse tree is defined in the following format:
+
+```ruby
+# A simple tree consisting of one node
+Yasuri.<Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>]
+
+# Nested tree
+Yasuri.<Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>] do
+  <Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>] do
+    <Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>]
+    ...
+  end
+end
 ```
 
-Tree is definable by 3(+1) ways, json, yaml, and DSL (or basic ruby code). In above example, DSL.
+**Example**
 
 ```ruby
-# Construct by json.
-src = <<-EOJSON
-   { "node"     : "links",
-     "name"     : "title",
-     "path"     : "/html/body/a",
-     "children" : [
-                    { "node" : "text",
-                      "name" : "name",
-                      "path" : "/html/body/p"
-                    }
-                  ]
-   }
-EOJSON
-tree = Yasuri.json2tree(src)
+# A simple tree consisting of one node
+Yasuri.text_title '/html/head/title', truncate:/^[^,]+/
+
+# Nested tree
+Yasuri.links_root '//*[@id="menu"]/ul/li/a' do
+  struct_table './tr' do
+    text_title    './td[1]'
+    text_pub_date './td[2]'
+  end
+end
 ```
 
+Parsing trees can be defined in Ruby DSL, JSON, or YAML.
+The following is an example of the same parse tree as above, defined in each notation.
+
+
+**Case of defining as Ruby DSL**
 ```ruby
-# Construct by yaml.
-src = <<-EOYAML
-title:
-  node: links
+Yasuri.links_title '/html/body/a' do
+  text_name '/html/body/p'
+end
+```
+
+**Case of defining as JSON**
+```json
+{
+  links_title": {
+    "path": "/html/body/a",
+    "text_name": "/html/body/p"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Case of defining as YAML**
+```yaml
+links_title:
   path: "/html/body/a"
-  children:
-    - name:
-        node: text
-        path: "/html/body/p"
-EOYAML
-tree = Yasuri.yaml2tree(src)
+  text_name: "/html/body/p"
+```
+
+**Special case of purse tree**
+
+If there is only one element directly under the root, it will return that element directly instead of Hash(Object).
+```json
+{
+  "text_title": "/html/head/title",
+  "text_body": "/html/body",
+}
+# => {"title": "Welcome to yasuri!", "body": "Yasuri is ..."}
+
+{
+  "text_title": "/html/head/title"}
+}
+# => Welcome to yasuri!
 ```
 
 
-### Node
-Tree is constructed by nested Nodes.
-Node has `Type`, `Name`, `Path`, `Childlen`, and `Options`.
+In json or yaml format, a attribute can directly specify `path` as a value if it doesn't have any child Node. The following two json will have the same parse tree.
 
-Node is defined by this format.
+```json
+{
+  "text_name": "/html/body/p"
+}
 
+{
+  "text_name": {
+    "path": "/html/body/p"
+  }
+}
+```
+### Run ParseTree
+Call the `Node#scrape(uri, opt={})` method on the root node of the parse tree.
 
+**Example**
 ```ruby
-# Top Level
-Yasuri.<Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>]
+root = Yasuri.links_root '//*[@id="menu"]/ul/li/a' do
+         text_title '//*[@id="contents"]/h2'
+         text_content '//*[@id="contents"]/p[1]'
+       end
 
-# Nested
-Yasuri.<Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>] do
-  <Type>_<Name> <Path> [,<Options>] do
-    <Children>
-  end
-end
+result = root.scrape("http://some.scraping.page.tac42.net/", interval_ms: 1000)
+```
+
++ `uri` is the URI of the page to be scraped.
++ `opt` is options as Hash. The following options are available.
+
+Yasuri uses `Mechanize` internally as an agent to do scraping.
+If you want to specify this instance, call `Node#scrape_with_agent(uri, agent, opt={})`.
+
+```ruby
+require 'logger'
+
+agent = Mechanize.new
+agent.log = Logger.new $stderr
+agent.request_headers = {
+  # ...
+}
+
+result = root.scrape_with_agent(
+  "http://some.scraping.page.tac42.net/",
+  agent,
+  interval_ms: 1000)
 ```
 
+### `opt`
+#### `interval_ms`
+Interval [milliseconds] for requesting multiple pages.
+
+If omitted, requests will be made continuously without an interval, but if requests to many pages are expected, it is strongly recommended to specify an interval time to avoid high load on the target host.
+
+#### `retry_count`
+Number of retries when page acquisition fails. If omitted, it will retry 5 times.
+
+#### `symbolize_names`
+If true, returns the keys of the result set as symbols.
+
+--------------------------
+## Node
+
+Node is a node or leaf of the parse tree, which has `Type`, `Name`, `Path`, `Childlen`, and `Options`, and scrapes according to its `Type`. (Note that only `MapNode` does not have `Path`).

+  j, [--json=JSON]  # yasuri tree format json string
+  i, [--interval=N]  # interval each request [ms]
+
+Getting from <URI> and scrape it. with <JSON> or json/yml from <TREE_FILE>. They should be Yasuri's format json or yaml string.
+```
+
+In the CLI tool, you can specify the parse tree in either of the following ways.
++ `--file`, `-f` : option to read the parse tree in json or yaml format output to a file.
++ `--json`, `-j` : option to specify the parse tree directly as a string.
+
+
+**Example of specifying a parse tree as a file**
+```sh
+% cat sample.yml
+text_title: "/html/head/title"
+text_desc: "//*[@id=\"intro\"]/p"
+
+% yasuri scrape "https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/" --file sample.yml
+{"title":"Ruby Programming Language","desc":"\n    A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on\n    simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is\n    natural to read and easy to write.\n    "}
+
+% cat sample.json
+{
+  "text_title": "/html/head/title",
+  "text_desc": "//*[@id=\"intro\"]/p"
+}
+
+% yasuri scrape "https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/" --file sample.json
+{"title":"Ruby Programming Language","desc":"\n    A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on\n    simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is\n    natural to read and easy to write.\n    "}
+```
+
+Whether the file is written in json or yaml will be determined automatically.
+
+**Example of specifying a parse tree directly in json**
+```sh
+$ yasuri scrape "https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/" -j '
+{
+  "text_title": "/html/head/title",
+  "text_desc": "//*[@id=\"intro\"]/p"
+}'
+
+{"title":"Ruby Programming Language","desc":"\n    A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on\n    simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is\n    natural to read and easy to write.\n    "}
+```
+
+#### Other options
++ `--interval`, `-i` : The interval [milliseconds] for requesting multiple pages.
+   **Example: Request at 1 second intervals**
+   ```sh
+   $ yasuri scrape "https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/" --file sample.yml --interval 1000
+   ```
