php-mf2 is a pure, generic [microformats-2](http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats-2) parser. It makes HTML as easy to consume as JSON.

Instead of having a hard-coded list of all the different microformats, it follows a set of procedures to handle different property types (e.g. `p-` for plaintext, `u-` for URL, etc). This allows for a very small and maintainable parser.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

There are two ways of installing php-mf2. We **highly recommend** installing php-mf2 using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org). The rest of the documentation assumes that you have done so.

To install using Composer, run

```
composer require mf2/mf2

```

If you can’t or don’t want to use Composer, then php-mf2 can be installed the old way by downloading [`/Mf2/Parser.php`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microformats/php-mf2/master/Mf2/Parser.php), adding it to your project and requiring it from files you want to call its functions from, like this:

```
