Description of different extractors?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I see that you recently added the canola extractor. Is this extractor better 
for general web text?

Could you provide a high-level summary of the different extractors, and the 
type of pages they work best on? This would be very useful documentation.

The CanolaExtractor has been trained on Canola documents. Its main purpose is 
to demonstrate the competitiveness of such a simple classifier (based on number 
of words/densities) for the Canola corpus evaluation. I would not recommend it 
for other purposes.

I'd recommend using ArticleExtractor for any type of news articles and 
DefaultExtractor (or maybe LargestContentExtractor) for the rest. YMMV.

I have provided some [Benchmarks 
http://code.google.com/p/boilerpipe/wiki/Benchmarks] on the L3S-GN1 news 
corpus, as an initial starting point.
