Create a new Apache Commons Fathead Instant Answer

What do I need to know?

You'll need to know how to code in Perl, Python, Ruby, or JavaScript. fathead languages

What am I doing?

You will write a script that scrapes or downloads the data source below, and generates an output.txt file containing the parsed documentation. You can learn more about Fatheads and the output.txt syntax here.

More Info

The list of commons components is available at http://commons.apache.org. Each component has it's own JavaDoc that can be parsed. The JavaDocs are available at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-{{component_name}}/apidocs/index.html (e.g. http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/apidocs/index.html)

For each component's packages, we should scrape the Interfaces, Classes, Enums, etc.

Data source: http://commons.apache.org/

Instant Answer Page: to be created by developer

Hey @nikhilsingh291! How are you getting on? Do you have any questions?

nikhilsingh291 commented 7 years ago

Sorry it completely went off my mind. I'll finish this in 2-3 days. @pjhampton can I use a python script to download the source files as the JavaDocs are spread across multiple pages ? A recursive download will take a lot of space and will download extra files.

pjhampton commented 7 years ago

Hey @nikhilsingh291, that's cool! just checking in 😄 What is the IA page? Yeah, you can take that approach 👍

pjhampton commented 7 years ago
