HTML Meta tag parser, with emphasis on OpenGraph/Twitter Cards, and complex meta tag schemes.

## Straight to an example

#### Simple meta tag collector

This example collects top level meta tags without a schema:

```
> mt = Metatron(url='https://www.bbc.co.uk')
> mt.traverse()

{
'x-country': 'gb',
'x-audience': 'Domestic',
'CPS_AUDIENCE': 'Domestic',
'CPS_CHANGEQUEUEID': '115204091',
'theme-color': 'bb1919',
'msapplication-TileColor': '#bb1919'
}

> mt['x-country']
> 'gb'
```

#### Collect structures OpenGraph meta tags
```
> mt = Metatron(url='https://www.bbc.co.uk', schemas=['og'])
> mt.traverse()

{
'og': {
'title': 'Home - BBC News',
'description': 'Visit BBC News for up-to-the-minute news....',
'site_name': 'BBC News',
'locale': 'en_GB',
'article': {
'author': 'https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews',
'section': 'Home'
},
'url': 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/news',
'image': '//m.files.bbci.co.uk/modules/bbc-morph-news-waf-page-meta/2.1.0/bbc_news_logo.png'
}
}
```

#### Supports opengraph arrays (and can receive content as input)
```
> content = """
<meta property="og:title" content="First title tag" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Second title tag" />
<meta property="og:description" content="description tag" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://secure.example.com/image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="400" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="300" />
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="First image description" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image2.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://secure.example.com/image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="500" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="600" />
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="Second image description" />
"""

> mt = Metatron(content=content, schemas=['og'])
> mt.traverse()

{
'og': {
'description': 'description tag',
'image': [
{
'alt': 'First image descriptoin',
'height': '300',
'image': 'http://example.com/image.jpg',
'secure_url': 'https://secure.example.com/image.jpg',
'type': 'image/jpeg',
'width': '400'
},
{
'alt': 'A shiny green apple with a bite taken out',
'height': '600',
'image': 'http://example.com/image2.jpg',
'secure_url': 'https://secure.example.com/ogp.jpg',
'type': 'image/jpeg',
'width': '500'
}
],
'title': [
'First title tag',
'Second title tag'
]
}
}

```
