Optimus, the ultimate Microformats parser

While I was writing my most recent Tech Leader post, I stumbled upon Optimus, a Microformats parser brought to us by the guys over at Microformatique.

In my humble opinion, Optimus is the best you’ll find out there by far! All you do is pass a url of a web page to it, and it will return all selected microformats in either XML, JSON or JSON-P. It utilizes a mix of XML, XSLT and PHP to obtain the required results.

What is specially cool about it is that you can use it as a web service from http://microformatique.com/optimus/ or you may download the source code and run it on your own server. It requires PHP5 as it uses the DOMDocument class and the XSLTProcessor class.

Supported Microformats are:

1. hCalendar
2. hCard
3. hEntry
4. hResume
5. hReview
6. hListing
7. hAudio
8. xFolkentry
9. adr
10. geo
11. xfn
12. votelinks
13. rel-nofollow
14. rel-tag
15. rel-license

To try it and check it out, head over to http://microformatique.com/optimus/. Enter a blog address like mine and you should at least get a couple of rel-tags or XFN’s

  Thanks for mentioning Optimus - and just to point out that it’s also a great debugger for your microformatted content. But while we host it at microformatique, it’ 100% the work of the super talented dmitry baranovskiy
