Metadata

[flemer]

It would be nice if you provide not only the patterns, but also the metadata, such as pattern names, descriptions, creators and tags, organized in a xml or json file.

Can you provide an example of an xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<patterns>
    <pattern>
        <name>Escheresque dark</name>
        <filename>escheresque_dark.png</filename>
        <description>A comeback for you, the populare Escheresque now in black.</description>
        <madeby>Ste Patten</madeby>
        <tags>dark,grid,noise</tags>
    </pattern>

    <pattern>
        <!-- another pattern -->
    </pattern>

    <pattern>
        <!-- another pattern -->
    </pattern>

</patterns>

Yeah, nice idea. 👍

Mabe like this:

var patterns = [{
    title: "Subtle stripes",
    author: "<a href='http://cargocollective.com/raasa' target='_blank'>Raasa</a>",
    description: "Vertical lines with a bumpy yet crisp feel to it.",
    tags: ["light", "stripes"],
    link: "http://subtlepatterns.com/subtle-stripes/",
    image: "https://github.com/subtlepatterns/SubtlePatterns/raw/master/subtle_stripes.png",
    download: "http://subtlepatterns.subtlepatterns.netdna-cdn.com/patterns/subtle_stripes.zip"
}, {
    title: "Cartographer",
    author: "<a href='http://sam.feyaerts.me' target='_blank'>Sam Feyaerts</a>",
    description: "A topographic map like this has actually been requested a few times, so here you go!",
    tags: ["cartographer", "dark", "topography"],
