no puzzle found

Looks like it would be pretty straightforward to add. document.getElementsByClassName("js-crossword")[0].dataset["crosswordData"] extracts the crossword data in a (new) proprietary JSON format.

Added in CrosswordScraper 1.3.18 (available now for Firefox, pending approval for Chrome).

This only handles simple puzzles as that's all I could find from a quick search. If there are any puzzles with extra features (e.g. circled letters, non-standard numbering, rebus) then it would be great to see an example.

Note that their applet does include markers for hyphenation and stronger bars for word boundaries. But given that the enumerations are given in the clues, this feels more like an app-specific feature than something to encode in the file itself, and the hyphens wouldn't be supported easily in any format anyway.
