Microformat Shiv

A light weight cross browser JavaScript Microformats parser.

Browsers should come with APIs to parse semantic content such as microformats, unfortunately this has yet to happen. I have just finished building microformat shiv which provides a simple to use, light-weight, cross-browser microformat API. It even works with modern mobile browsers and is backward compatible with Internet Explorer 6.

The microformat shiv is based on the microformat API for Mozilla’s extensions. This is the same code base as the popular Operater plug-in. I have open sourced it under the Mozilla Public License and the source can be download from github.
