kindle-web-annotations

node.js library to parse an Amazon Kindle My Clippings.txt file and emit objects that use the W3C Web Annotation Vocabulary.

Usage

This library exports a constructor for a Transport stream to which you can write chunks of the 'My Clippings' format and it will emit out JSON objects that use the Web Annotation Vocabulary.

``javascript
const { ClippingTextToWebAnnotation } = require('kindle-web-annotations')
const fileName = process.argv[2]
require('fs').createReadStream(fileName)
.pipe(new ClippingTextToWebAnnotation)
.on('data', annotation => console.log(JSON.stringify(annotation)))
`

You can also use it as a small CLI:

`
⚡ node . fixtures/correlate.txt | jq .
{
"@context": [
"http://www.w3.org/ns/anno.jsonld",
{
"title": "as:title",
"author": "as:author"
}
],
