Great job! While I believe in-browser solution will have more usage.

Good stuff. Something similar in case you want to process the data further in node: https://github.com/maxthyen/table-scraper

I'm a big x-ray fan (https://github.com/lapwinglabs/x-ray), makes scraping super easy

Thanks guys. This is my first node module. Glad it is being well received. Wrote it because I have over 10k html files to process and get the data into a DB.

That's a good idea. My reason for building it was because I have tons of flat files to process.
