Node-Tree based data extraction
Project description
This Package contains a tool for extracting structured data from HTML and JSON pages. It reads the page into a Node based tree, from which you, on the bases of a json data-file, can extract your data into a list of items. It can first extract a list of keyNodes and extract for each of them the same data-list. During the extraction several data manipulation functions are available.
- Main advantages
It gives you a highly dependable dataset from a potentially changable source.
You can easily update on changes in the source without touching your code.
You can make the data_def available on a central location while distributing the aplication and so giving your users easy access to (automated) updates.
