wtf.parse

The parse function return a JSON that contains all the information from the page. The sections are stored into an ordered array "nodeDataArray". Each section as an attribute "depth" that contain the level of depth into the tree structure of the page. The tree structure is stored into nodeDataArray using a the Pre-order pattern for traversing. For example considering the following array [ {text:"A", depth:0}, {text:"B", depth:1}, {text:"D", depth:2}, {text:"C", depth:1}, {text:"E", depth:2}, {text:"F", depth:3}], we can understand that A is the root since A's depth is 0. Because B, and C have depth equal to 1, they are A's children. Than D is the child of B, E is the child of C, and F is child of E. This also means that A is the main section, B is an sub-section of A, D is a sub-section of B and so on.
