Pubsie is an open-source Node.js library I developed to simplify the process of parsing EPUB files. It allows developers to efficiently extract essential components such as metadata, chapters, and other resources from EPUB files within JavaScript applications.
The library features an event-driven architecture, providing robust error handling and facilitating asynchronous operations during the parsing process. To enhance performance, Pubsie includes a caching mechanism that stores parsed data, reducing the need for repeated parsing and improving data retrieval speed.
In building Pubsie, I focused on compliance with EPUB specifications to ensure broad compatibility with standard-compliant files. The project is available on npm, complete with detailed documentation and usage examples to assist developers in integrating it into their applications.
