Check out https://github.com/chefconnie/microdata for a mature implementation, this code is essentially abandoned

A microdata parser for Elixir. Name shamelessly stolen from Mida. There has been no time spent yet on handling abusive/malformed inputs. Midal is still too immature for even toy projects. It will be available on hex.pm when that changes.

  iex> Midal.parse("<div itemscope><div itemprop='name'>Midal</div></div>")
  {:ok, %{"name" => "Midal"}}

Any deviation from the current specification is considered a bug. Here are the currently known limitations:

• Unsupported attributes:
  • itemref

• implement initial basic parser
• fix deviations from w3c spec
• add basic handling for malformed/abusively crafted inputs (likely just limits on item nesting)
• improve Floki-based implementation (horrific performance, requeries the document way too much)
• refactor Floki-implementation to provide a document querying interface, move its current logic either to lib/midal.ex or a new file
• flesh out documentation
• write conversion utilities for JSON-LD, RDFa
• research adding features for vocabularies (validation, not sure what else is useful)
• setup CI
• general repo maintenance (contributors, issue templates, etc)
• publish on hex when stable

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding midal to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:midal, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/midal.
