php| architect’s Guideto Web Scraping

Descripción

Web scraping is the future of the Web. I didn’ t believe that when Matthew first approached me, asking me to write the foreword to this book. In fact, I thought quite the opposite. Web scraping? Isn’ t that an old topic — something we used to do in the early days of web development? Why would I want to read about web scraping? Isn’ t it unethical? And you’ re probably asking yourself some of the same questions. So, I started to think about it—about what web scraping really is—and themore I considered it, themore it remindedme of TimBerners-Le’e s vision of a web of linked data, of semantic data, connected together and open for all to share and use. Is not web scraping simply the act of getting data from one source and parsing it to use in your own applications? Is this not the goal of the Semantic Web?
