Extractor of fields using xpath or css selectors and map them to Solr fields?

[mzeidhassan]

First, thanks for the project. Sounds great. I am wondering if there is any chance to extract particular text items and images from web pages and map these extracted fields to Solr filed right away. This way, you can build a front-end application that fetch results from Solr and display these fields to end users?

Is this possible? If not, can you add it to your enhancement list?

Thanks,
Mohamed

We are glad that you liked the project and thank you for your suggestion. I envision it as a CSS/XPath extractor added to Sparkler plugins. We can definitely add it as an enhancement.

Please let us know if you are interested to work on this and we can discuss more on the implementation.
