Inconsistent Object Keys #13

Hi,

Thanks for the great library. Due to limitation of time, I am not able to submit a pull request but I think its worth raising an issue here. The Keys of the Object created from the data are directly pulled from the HTML. So for example if a user is using itemprop="Description" then it will add Description as key to microdata but if a user is using itemprop="description" then it will use the lowercase description key.

Although the burden of using a valid schema with proper cases lie on the webmaster of the site, It will be nice if WAE can transform the keys before adding them into the object.

Currently I add a fix to my code by using then following recursive function:

const _ = require('lodash'); const lowerCaseKeys = function (obj) { return _.transform(obj, (result, value, key) => { let k = key; if (_.isString(key)) { k = key.toLowerCase(); } if (_.isObject(value) || _.isArray(value)) { result[k] = this.lowerCaseKeys(value); } else { result[k] = value; } }, []); },

I use it for small objects so its not a problem for me yet but if anyone else wish to use it, be cautious as it creates a stack for every iteration. If the keys get modified before being added to the object then it will eliminate extra processing like above.

I am happy to help further if the Library Owner wants/needs.
