microdata/RDFa-Lite library

• Light weight streaming parser
  • Parse chunked HTML and extract both microdata/RDFa-Lite via corresponding event handlers
  • Applications can reduce memory foot print because huge HTML tree isn't internally created
• Data model builder
  • Create a data model based on the underlying streaming parser result
  • All semantics of microdata/RDFa-Lite can be accessed via HTML5 microdata API

How to build binary

1. Install libxml because the streaming parser works on libxml HTMLparser

2. Execute configure script:

   $ ./configure
   

3. Build library:

   $ make
   

How to serialize API specification

1. Install doxygen

2. Execute doxygen command under $LIBRARY_ROOT/csem:

   $ doxygen
   

3. API specification is serialized under $LIBRARY_ROOT/doc as both html and man

Sample programs

• Examples for each module can be found under $LIBRARY_ROOT/examples
• A sample program based on Chrome extension

Code quality

• No memory leak with valgrind
• Nice code coverage (more than 80%)
