[ANN] Org Mode parser v0.0.1 for NodeJs

[ANN] Org Mode parser v0.0.1 for NodeJs

[Giovanni Giorgi]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 736 bytes --]

Hi all,
 I have just published my org-mode parser for the node-js javascript based server:

http://gioorgi.com/org-mode-parser/

It is a Javascript parser for the Emacs Org-mode file format.

I use org-mode as a database for some programs (like games) where I need to mix meta information to a bunch of long textual data.

I wrote it because I was unable to find an implementation for my needs.

I like too much org-mode to let nodejs without a parser, and as expected the simple org-mode format was easy to parse.
I started from the Charles Cave's OrgNode python parser, but I need to modify it a lot because of JavaScript different nature.

Please feel free to give me your feedback

This.is.simply.awesome!

I was procrastinating on this as well. There's one for ruby as well which
I've been playing with, this could give me some inspiration to contribute
back.

Keep up the great work,

- Marcelo.

Hi Gio,

Perhaps it is my ignorance of how this all works, but do you have a small example of how/why one would use this?  As is obvious from my question, I'm not familiar with nodejs.

Hi, 

 you can find a simple example
here
https://github.com/daitangio/org-mode-parser [4] 

with the source
code too. 

Anyway, the simpler way is to install the package (via npm)
and use the makelist(...) function to read and parse in an asyncronous
way the org-nodes: 

var
orgParser=require('org-mode-parser');
orgParser.makelist("README.org",
function (nodelist){
 // Here nodelist is a list of Orgnode objects
(ref:putyourcode)
 console.dir(nodelist);
});

I have just pushed the
revision 0.0.2.

Take a look here for unit testing
example

https://github.com/daitangio/org-mode-parser/blob/master/test/parserTest.js

This is great.

We should start a page on Worg with links to external tools for
manipulating Org-mode files.  Such a page could point to this
implementation as well as the python, ruby org libraries and maybe even
the Vim clone of Org-mode.

Thanks for sharing! -- Eric

There is such a page already:

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tools/index.html

I've just updated it -- please check in 30 minutes.

Also, VimOrganizer deserves a page for itself...  don't know
if this is still actively developed though.

Best,

Thanks!

Could this somehow be plugged to Substance?  Or could this be 
adapted to export Org files in the Data.Graph data format?

http://substance.io/

This is the first I've seen of substance.io, it looks very interesting.
I wonder how similar the substance document data structure is to the new
org-parse data structure, and if it would be difficult or rewarding to
write a translator between the two.

Cheers,

I wonder the same -- I guess we'll all have more insight when we try
writing new exporter with the new export engine.  Just though it was
good to throw this reference early enough...

Hi,
 sorry for my late response.
I have little time right now, but I think org-mode could be integrated.
The current node.js org-mode parser is not designed to take care of the content of a paragraph (for instance it will not be able to detect numbered lists), and I fear this is its major weak point.
But for the rest, I have done some tests and the parser is quite robust.
Please grab the last version from npm, it has a good set of unit tests
