Cloud Storage Recommender (CLI-Based)

This project implements a command-line tool for comparing and recommending cloud storage plans from platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box. Users can input feature preferences, budget, and storage requirements to receive ranked plan recommendations.

🚀 CLI Flow (main.java)

The main logic follows this sequence:

1. cli.Main
   Prompt user to choose a preferred platform (or skip to include all) → returns a UserRequest object

2. feature.WebCrawler
   Crawl HTML from selected platform (simulated or real)

3. feature.HtmlParser(REGEX)
   Extract structured plan data from HTML

4. feature.SpellChecker
   Correct misspelled feature term

5. feature.WordCompleter
   Suggest full matching feature terms

6. filter.UserFilter
   Filter plans user budget, billing type, and storage needs

7. Recommender.recommender
   Sort plans with userrequest

---

✅ Input Format

• Feature keyword: free text (will be corrected)
• Budget constraint: numeric input + billing type (Monthly/Annual)
• Storage: text with unit (e.g., "100GB", "1TB")

---

🧪 Future Extensions

• Implement real-time web scraping

• Improve feature clustering & ranking algorithms
