w3c-wpt-annotation-protocol-fixtures-pmb

Nicely packaged copy of https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/annotation-protocol/files/annotations/

Do not confuse:

There are two very similar sets of examples:

• Those for the Annotatoion Protocol, which ship in this repo (see API).

• Those in the Annotatoion Data Model spec.

  anno-model: https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/

For details and comparison, please see anno-model-examples/README.md.

Motivation

The original WPT repo is huge, even as "just" a zipball, and unfortunately, GitHub still doesn't offer an easy way to download just one subdirectory. How can we minimize download size?

• There's a somewhat-secret way to do it with SVN, but I don't want to install SVN just for this.
• Sparsely clone the git repo. Unfortunately, when I tested it, the fetch took several minutes. It seems like only the checkout can be sparse, not the fetch, so this doesn't help with the amount of data to download.
• Scrape the directory listing from the GitHub website. This should work. So until someone has a better idea, … it will have to do.

API

The module API is still experimental. Instead, use the JSON files in the examples/ directory.

Known issues

• Needs more/better tests and docs.
