Glypto Go extracts comprehensive metadata from websites including:

• Page metadata: Titles, descriptions, images, favicons
• Social media: Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards
• Feed discovery: RSS/Atom feeds with automatic detection
• Site information: Site names, canonical URLs

The tool features a modular provider system with priority-based resolution, making it easy to extend and customize metadata extraction.

• 🔍 Comprehensive Metadata Scraping: Open Graph, Twitter Cards, standard meta tags, and RSS/Atom feeds
• 🧩 Extensible Provider System: Plug-and-play architecture for adding new metadata sources
• 🚀 Priority-Based Resolution: Intelligent fallback system for metadata values (OpenGraph → Twitter → Standard → Other)
• ⚡ Fast HTML Parsing: Built on golang.org/x/net/html for efficient parsing
• 📦 Multiple Usage Patterns: CLI tool and programmatic Go API
• 🎯 Type-Safe: Full Go type safety with interfaces and structured data
• 🎨 Colorized Output: Beautiful CLI output with color-coded results
• 📝 Feed Discovery: Automatic detection and parsing of RSS/Atom feeds

Glypto Go uses a modular provider architecture with clear separation of concerns:

• Scraper: Main scraping engine with fluent method chaining
• ProviderRegistry: Manages and prioritizes metadata providers
• Metadata: Result object with intelligent value resolution
• MetadataProvider: Interface for implementing custom providers

The following providers are included by default, listed by priority:

1. OpenGraph Provider (Priority 1): Extracts og:* properties
2. Twitter Provider (Priority 2): Extracts twitter:* properties
3. Standard Meta Provider (Priority 3): Extracts standard meta tags
4. Other Elements Provider (Priority 4): Extracts from <title>, <h1>, <link> tags
