[aciccarello] Finally wrote a metaformats implementation. There were a few complications which required a different approach. Feedback welcome https://github.com/microformats/microformats-parser/pull/229
#
Loqi [preview] [aciccarello] #229 feat(Experimental): add support for metaformats

#
[snarfed] ooh nice. I get too look at that eventually too, in Python: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/551
#
Loqi [preview] [snarfed] #551 support OGP, Twitter cards, meta tags, etc for Web users

#
[aciccarello] I tried not to over complicate things. I didn't bother with Dublin core. I don't even know how you'd figure out JSON-LD with all the ways it can be used. I included OGP, Twitter cards, and some basic meta tag fallbacks.
#
[aciccarello] I wish I had some better statistics on usage though. I'd consider dropping Twitter cards given most sites also include OGP if they have Twitter cards.
#
[aciccarello] I should do some more testing though
#
Loqi agreed.
#
[snarfed] agreed, those are the three I'll probably look at too
#
[snarfed] I think common crawl has those stats

#
[tantek] indeed I wouldn't bother with JSON-LD data islands because the only big consumer is Google Search which means they are dominated by SEO spam. it's more likely to be noise than signal
#
[tantek] similarly no one regularly consumes Dublin Core so it's likely to be historical rot
#
[tantek] should we add explicit discouragements / why we are not parsing reasons to the metaformats spec?
