-Starting from a root url, scrapers recursively follow links that match a set of rules, passing each valid response through a chain of filters before writing the file on the local filesystem.

-There are currently two kinds of scrapers: [`UrlScraper`](https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs/blob/master/lib/docs/core/scrapers/url_scraper.rb) which downloads files via HTTP and [`FileScraper`](https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs/blob/master/lib/docs/core/scrapers/file_scraper.rb) which reads them from the local filesystem. They function almost identically (both use URLs), except that `FileScraper` substitutes the base url with a local path before reading a file.
