2024-03-02 - JSON-LD to MealMaster
==================================
Someone sent me a link to a blog post about MOAR, a gopher accessible
recipe search that i worked on. Part of this post caught my attention:

While I was reading I discovered that a lot of modern recipe
websites include some structured data in the document head in the
form of JSON-LD (which is JSON with Linked Data). And consequently,
a lot of modern recipe software can import recipes directly from
the web if you provide it with a URL for a document that has that
kind of data.

Challenge accepted! I resolved to create a semi-automated process to
import recipes from the web into Meal-Master.

First, the toolset:

Curl (FreeDOS) <http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/ 1.3/net/curl/7_77_0.zip>
Gawk (DJGPP) <http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/awk/gawk/ gwk500b.zip>
jq
<gopher://tilde.pink/9/~bencollver/files/dos/util/jq/jq171.zip>
jsontomm.awk <gopher://tilde.pink/0/~bencollver/files/dos/app/mealmaster/json2mm/ jsontomm.awk>
Meal-Master <gopher://tilde.pink/9/~bencollver/files/dos/app/mealmaster/mm806F.exe> Meal-Master Buster <gopher://tilde.pink/9/~bencollver/files/dos/app/mealmaster/bustr20n.zip>

I unzipped all of the tools and made sure they were in my path.

Select a recipe to import:

Tofu Peanut Stir-Fry <https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tofu_peanut_stir-fry_62729>

Download the document:

C:\>curl --insecure -o stirfry.htm https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/
recipes/tofu_peanut_stir-fry_62729

Convert to stirfry.txt:

C:\>gawk -f jsontomm.awk stirfry.htm stirfry

This process is SEMI-automated. Correct stirfry.txt as desired.

Convert to stirfry.mmf

Press <RETURN> to continue (or <CONTROL-X> to end program)

At this point, press Ctrl-X or else Meal-Master Buster will delete
stirfry.mmf, yanking the tablecloth out from under you.
