Summary

Currently, some search engines and social networking services can understand and use a HTML Microdata for providing users more rich experiences. Therefore a Web site owner and a content providers must support its specification and must write a semantic into their pages. However, this is not easy generally. At least, I think that its confirmation should be more easily.

This extension can parse a Web page and understand a structure of items, and shows you it with a simple way which you click only a button of this extension.

The first version is supporting HTML Microdata only. Other specifications will be supported.

Doesn't work at all. Used to work like a dream. Hasn't been updated since 2017.

Used to work great for me and I found it really handy. It became a must have extension. However, now it doesn't seem to work at all. I never see the logo in my URL bar next to the bookmark icon star. This is now functionally useless. What happened?!
