Documentation is at [http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/iand/microdata](http://go.pkgdoc.org/github.com/iand/microdata)


USAGE
=====

Example of parsing a string containing HTML:

	package main

	import (
		"github.com/iand/microdata"
		"net/url"
		"strings"
	)

	func main() {
		html := `<div itemscope>
		 <p>My name is <span itemprop="name">Elizabeth</span>.</p>
		</div>`

		baseUrl, _ := url.Parse("http://example.com/")
		p := microdata.NewParser(strings.NewReader(html), baseUrl)

		data, err := p.Parse()
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		println("Name: ", data.Items[0].Properties["name"][0].(string))
	}		

Extract microdata from a webpage and print the result as JSON

	package main

	import (
		"bytes"
		"github.com/iand/microdata"
		"io/ioutil"
		"net/http"
		"net/url"
		"os"
	)

	func main() {

		baseUrl, _ := url.Parse("http://tagger.steve.museum/steve/object/44863?offset=6")

		resp, _ := http.Get(baseUrl.String())
		defer resp.Body.Close()

		html, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)

		p := microdata.NewParser(bytes.NewReader(html), baseUrl)

		data, _ := p.Parse()

		json, _ := data.Json()
		os.Stdout.Write(json)
	}
