A program to Parse Facebook Message Data into a useable form incredibly quickly!
We are excited to announce that the useable form is json.
Slower programs built around libraries such as BeautifulSoup can take whole minutes to run through your entire message history, but parse.py is optimized to run in just seconds ~
Download your facebook data following these instructions: https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467
Then simply run python parse.py path/to/facebook/html/messages.htm your/output/file.json
messages_1.html is given as an example input,
run python parse.py messages_1.html out.json for a sample json output
