microdata/RDFa-Lite C Library

This library is designed to enable even embedded applications to extract annotations from HTML contents with small memory foot print and nice performance. It can be easily integrated into any other programing implementation via dedicated C interfaces (ex. Python.h, ruby.h). Not only well-known server side use case like search engine and crawller but also web browsers could integrate this library.

• Functionality
• 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

• API Documentation

• How to build
1. Install libxml because the streaming parser works on libxml HTMLparser
2. Execute configure script
$ ./configure
3. Build library
$ make
• Sample Programs
• Library sample programs
• Chrome Extension HTML5 Annotation Viewer can be tried (not interesting still...)
