This software is a speedy and easy-to-use parser for microformats. It utilizes a compact DSL and Hpricot for parsing.
One great thing about hAtom is that it can be easily parsed with a microformat parser such as Mofo. With a parser, users can extract the information from the post just as they would from an Atom feed. Even better, hAtom can be converted into an Atom feed directly. The user doesn't need to create any new code; they're just repurposing existing content.
Mofo is a tool that can be used as a plugin for Rails. By dropping it into the vendor/plugins directory, all of the various microformat parsers are loaded into the application. A major benefit of mofo is that its classes are compatible with YAML and Marshal caching. This means that the data can be easily stored in a session or cached with memcached or DRb.
Overall, microformats are a great resource for anyone who wants to make their content more accessible and user-friendly. Mofo is an especially useful tool for anyone using Rails, as it makes the process of embedding microformats much easier. Mofo is distributed under the MIT/X Consortium License.
