Explanation​

The codebolt.browser.extractText() function extracts all readable text content from the current webpage. This function returns a promise that resolves with an object containing a success boolean and the extracted text. The function removes HTML markup and returns only the human-readable text that would be visible to a user browsing the page. This is particularly useful for content analysis, text mining, data extraction, generating summaries of webpage content, or when you need clean text without HTML formatting for further processing or analysis.
