	"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)
}
