Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

OPDS Parser for node

Parses OPDS Catalog Feed to JSON using Isaac Schlueter's sax parser.

Installation

npm install opds-parser

Requirements

Speed

Roughly 45,000 entries/s on 2.4 GHz Core i5 MacBook Pro.

Try examples/bench.js yourself.

Examples

Parse from file

var OpdsParser = require('opds-parser')
  , parser;

parser = new OpdsParser();

parser.parseFile('./navigation.opds', function(err, result) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(result);
  } else {
    console.log(err);
  }
})

Parse from URL

var OpdsParser = require('opds-parser')
  , parser;

parser = new OpdsParser();

var url = 'http://www.oreilly.co.jp/ebook/new.opds';

parser.parseUrl(url, {}, function(err, result) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(result);
  } else {
    console.log(err);
  }
})

To change http agent's option, pass options to parseUrl method.

var OpdsParser = require('opds-parser')
  , parser;

parser = new OpdsParser();

var url = 'http://www.oreilly.co.jp/ebook/new.opds'
  , options = {
    maxRedirects: 5
    , timeout: 5 * 1000
    , headers: {
      'User-Agent': 'your-own-user-agent'
    }
  }

parser.parseUrl(url, options, function(err, result) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(result);
  } else {
    console.log(err);
  }
})

The options default to below.

defaultOptions = {
  , method: 'GET'
  , followRedirect: true
  , followAllRedirects: false
  , maxRedirects: 3
  , timeout: 30 * 1000
  , jar: false
  , headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'node-opds-parser'
  }
}

Use as an EventEmitter

var OpdsParser = require('opds-parser')
  , parser;

parser = new OpdsParser();

parser.parseFile('./navigation.opds');

parser.on('entry', function(entry) {
  console.log('Got entry: %s', JSON.stringify(entry));
});

Parseable elements

node-opds-parser can parse all elements specified in OPDS spec (http://opds-spec.org/specs/opds-catalog-1-1-20110627/#OPDS_Catalog_Entry_Documents). In addition to that, the parser can parse some elements commonly appeared in real world OPDS feeds such as dc:publisher.

For a skelton object for entry, see below.
