NAME XML::Atom::Microformats - parse microformats in Atom content SYNOPSIS use XML::Atom::Microformats; my $feed = HTML::Microformats ->new_feed($xml, $base_uri) ->assume_profile(qw(hCard hCalendar)); print $feed->json(pretty => 1); use RDF::TrineShortcuts qw(rdf_query); my $results = rdf_query($sparql, $feed->model); DESCRIPTION The XML::Atom::Microformats module brings the functionality of HTML::Microformats to Atom 1.0 Syndication feeds. It finds microformats embedded in the elements (note: not ) of Atom entries. The general pattern of usage is to create an XML::Atom::Microformats object (which corresponds to an Atom 1.0 feed) using the "new_feed" method; tell it which types of Microformat you expect to find there; then ask for the data, as a Perl hashref, a JSON string, or an RDF::Trine model. Constructor "XML::Atom::Microformats->new_feed($xml, $base_url)" Constructs a feed object. $xml is the Atom source (string) or an XML::LibXML::Document. $base_url is the feed URL, important for resolving relative URL references. Profile Management Methods HTML::Microformats uses HTML profiles (i.e. the profile attribute on the HTML element) to detect which Microformats are used on a page. Any microformats which do not have a profile URI declared will not be parsed. XML::Atom::Microformats uses a similar mechanism. Because Atom does not have a element, Atom is used instead: These links can be used on a per-entry basis, or for the whole feed. Because many feeds fail to properly declare which profiles they use, there are various profile management methods to tell XML::Atom::Microformats to assume the presence of particular profile URIs, even if they're actually missing. "add_profile(@profiles)" Using "add_profile" you can add one or more profile URIs, and they are treated as if they were found on the document. For example: $feed->add_profile('http://microformats.org/profile/rel-tag') This is useful for adding profile URIs declared outside the document itself (e.g. in HTTP headers). "entry_add_profile($entryid, @profiles)" "entry_add_profile" is a variant to allow you to add a profile which applies only to one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "assume_profile(@microformats)" For example: $feed->assume_profile(qw(hCard adr geo)) This method acts similarly to "add_profile" but allows you to use names of microformats rather than URIs. Microformat names are case sensitive, and must match HTML::Microformats::Format::Foo module names. "entry_assume_profile($entryid, @profiles)" "entry_assume_profile" is a variant to allow you to add a profile which applies only to one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "assume_all_profiles" This method is equivalent to calling "assume_profile" for all known microformats. "entry_assume_all_profiles($entryid)" This method is equivalent to calling "entry_assume_profile" for all known microformats. Parsing Methods You can probably skip this section. The "data", "json" and "model" methods will automatically do this for you. "parse_microformats" Scans through the feed, finding microformat objects. On subsequent calls, does nothing (as everything is already parsed). "clear_microformats" Forgets information gleaned by "parse_microformats" and thus allows "parse_microformats" to be run again. This is useful if you've added some profiles between runs of "parse_microformats". Data Retrieval Methods These methods allow you to retrieve the feed's data, and do things with it. "objects($format)" $format is, for example, 'hCard', 'adr' or 'RelTag'. Returns a list of objects of that type. (If called in scalar context, returns an arrayref.) Each object is, for example, an HTML::Microformat::hCard object, or an HTML::Microformat::RelTag object, etc. See the relevent documentation for details. "entry_objects($entryid, $format)" "entry_objects" is a variant to allow you to fetch data for one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "all_objects" Returns a hashref of data. Each hashref key is the name of a microformat (e.g. 'hCard', 'RelTag', etc), and the values are arrayrefs of objects. Each object is, for example, an HTML::Microformat::hCard object, or an HTML::Microformat::RelTag object, etc. See the relevent documentation for details. "entry_all_objects($entryid)" "entry_all_objects" is a variant to allow you to fetch data for one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "json(%opts)" Returns data roughly equivalent to the "all_objects" method, but as a JSON string. %opts is a hash of options, suitable for passing to the JSON module's to_json function. The 'convert_blessed' and 'utf8' options are enabled by default, but can be disabled by explicitly setting them to 0, e.g. print $feed->json( pretty=>1, canonical=>1, utf8=>0 ); "entry_json($entryid, %opts)" "entry_json" is a variant to allow you to fetch data for one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "model(%opts)" Returns data as an RDF::Trine::Model, suitable for serialising as RDF or running SPARQL queries. Quads are used (rather than triples) which allows you to trace statements to the entries from which they came. $opts{'atomowl'} is a boolean indicating whether or not to include data from XML::Atom::OWL in the returned model. If enabled, this always includes AtomOWL data for the whole feed (not just for a specific entry), even if you use the "entry_model" method. If RDF::RDFa::Parser 1.096 or above is installed, then $opts{'atomowl'} will automatically pull in DataRSS data too. "entry_model($entryid, %opts)" "entry_model" is a variant to allow you to fetch data for one specific entry within the feed, if you know that entry's ID. "add_to_model($model, %opts)" Adds data to an existing RDF::Trine::Model. Otherwise, the same as "model". "entry_add_to_model($entry, $model, %opts)" Adds data to an existing RDF::Trine::Model. Otherwise, the same as "entry_model". BUGS Please report any bugs to . SEE ALSO HTML::Microformats, XML::Atom::OWL, XML::Atom::FromOWL, RDF::RDFa::Parser. , . AUTHOR Toby Inkster .
