Xmf_Parser: Extensible Microformats Parser for PHP 5

A tool for parsing microformated content from within PHP 5.

Main features

• Constructed to be extensible (by reusing existing microformats definitions for defining compound microformats).
• Full support of the Include Pattern (as defined in the Specs).
• Can be constructed to parse an string (useful when dealing with files) or directly from a URI.
• Validation of Microformated data.
• Can return a PHP Associative array, an XML representation of the found Microformats, or a JSON definition.

Main Intent

If intends to be fully compliant with the microformats specs and to give a simple, yet usable api for extracting microformats from either an string representing HTML/XML or a URI.

Important

Read the Requirements . If you don't, the code may not work!!!

Extend
