defmodule Mercury do
  @moduledoc """
    A simple wrapper for the [Mercury Web Parser API](https://mercury.postlight.com/web-parser/),
    powered by HTTPoison.

    The Mercury Parser extracts the bits that humans care about from any URL you give it.
    That includes article content, titles, authors, published dates, excerpts, lead images, and more.

    To use, just run:

    ```
    {:ok, response} = Mercury.parse(url)

		# -- OR --
    %{body: body} = Mercury.parse!(url)
    ```
