Microformat Converters

hAtom to Atom

Take the URL of any web page marked up with the hAtom microformat and output an Atom feed suitable for subscription in your favorite Atom-capable feedreader.

Note: At this time, this proxy only accepts well-formed XHTML. Support for HTML 4 and invalid XHTML will be added eventually.

hCard to vCard

Reads hCards embedded in any web page and produces a downloadable vCard that can be imported into any address book supporting the standard vCard format.

hCal to iCal

Extract hCalendar events from web pages and convert them into an iCalendar file for use in most calendar applications.

About these tools

These converters were made possible by the work of Technorati's X2V project and the helpful individuals on Freenode #microformats.

You can make use of these on your own site by constructing links in this format:

http://labs.corvidworks.com/mf/format/url

Format should be either hAtom, hCard, or hCalendar, and URL should be the complete URL of the page containing the microformat you want to convert.

Here's an example using hCard: http://labs.corvidworks.com/mf/hCard/http://www.six23.net/

These converters are very much works in progress, so don't be too surprised if they break in unexpected ways. That said, with the exceptions of problems noted above, they do work and I am committed to keeping them online for the forseeable future, so feel free to use them for microformat conversion on your own site.
