Use Case

Before meetups, I wanted to play some music. NiFi seemed like a great choice for streaming free music through my Mac.

MIDI Command Line Player For OSX

brew install timidity

Then you can simply play MIDI files with timidity file.mid.

Microservice to Extract Links from Web Pages

Java 8 Source Code: https://github.com/tspannhw/linkextractor

The Spring Boot REST API accepts a URL, parses out mid files and returns JSON containing linking and descriptions.

Example REST Call to Service

curl -G -v "http://<urL>:8080/extract/url?url=http://www.midiworld.com/classic.htm/&type=mid"

Run the Microservice

java -Xms512m -Xmx2048m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar target/linkextractor-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Java Snippet Using JSoup to extract links from URL (HTML)

pLink = new PrintableLink(); pLink.setLink(link.attr("abs:href")); pLink.setDescr(trim(link.text(), 100)); linksReturned.add(pLink);
