pydataportability.discovery

pydataportability.discovery is combining several other pydataportability components in order to provide URI based discovery of resource description documents.

In plain words that means that you give it a URI of a resource (e.g. a web URL) and it will try to find a document containing metadata for it which can either be in XRDS-Simple or XRD format.

Note

XRDS-Simple is going to be replaced by the upcoming XRD specification. The latter has no final release at the point of this writing which means that the API is likely going to change before the final release of this component.
