2. Microformats: Semantic Markup and Com... > Collecting Restaurant Reviews
This section concludes our studies of microformats—and Thai food—by briefly introducing hReview. Yelp is a popular service that implements hReview so that the ratings customers have left for restaurants can be exposed. Example 2-9 demonstrates how to extract hReview information as implemented by Yelp. A sample URL you might try is in the sample code and represents a Thai restaurant you definitely don’t want to miss if you ever have the opportunity to visit it.
Warning
Although the spec is pretty stable, hReview implementations seem
to vary and include arbitrary deviations. In particular, Example 2-9 does not parse the reviewer as an hCard because Yelp’s
implementation did not include it as such.
