Dapper: The Data Mapper
Posted by Darren in Programming on 12.27.06

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Dappit.com is the home of an impressive new application known as Dapper. Their tagline says it all:

“…A new service which makes it easy to extract content from any website.”

Once you choose a site you want to scrape for data, Dapper walks you through each step of naming fields, shaping your output and bundling the service into manageable chunk of code, simple as that. The output can be formatted as raw XML, HTML, RSS, email udpates and more. It will be interested to see how a service like this can be exploited on the creative level.
