xmixgen is a free software (GNU AGPL3+) static HTML mixtape generator. It is implemented as an XSLT stylesheet. When applied to an XML mixtape description, it produces a standalone HTML5 mixtape page.
See example.xml. Run make to compile example.html using LibXML's
xsltproc tool.
xmixgen has the following design goals:
-
Free
The source code for this tool, or any derivative of it, is available to imitate or adapt. To protect this right, it is licensed under the copyleft GNU AGPL.
-
Minimal
One invocation of the tool results in a single self-contained HTML document with no dependencies on external JS/CSS, and as few static resource dependencies as possible (just the audio files).
-
Privacy-aware
The output is well-suited for private or unlinked domains. To avoid leaking discoverability to third-parties, it does not fetch resources from public CDNs and uses "no-referrer" policy for the few links it has.
-
Modern
The output HTML uses features of semantic HTML5 elements and the
<audio>tag. The visual design is guided by Material Design but the style implementation is custom and small. -
Semantic
The output HTML is fully marked with semantic structure according to current best practices, equipped for the search engines and music aggregators of the future. This means Microdata with schema.org types.
-
Valid
The output HTML is doctype-conformant for all input XML files, and the semantic markup passes popular structured data validation tools.
