Info:

A perl/curl based I Ching generator that retrieves & parses readings from http://deoxy.org/iching/

This project was developed quite some time ago. I have no idea when I first wrote this version, but my first mention of it was from 2014-10, when I noticed that deoxy.org was down (as it is wont to do) causing the disruption of my application.

Previous versions were originally written in Java and Objective-C using an internal reading database, making them non-reliant upon external systems. I have no idea if I still have that code somewhere, but may look for it in the future.

I'm currently working on developing an API using the Django REST Framework. The intention being to create an I Ching API, since there are so many sites out there, but none of which I've found to be text browser friendly.

Once the API is up and running, then I plan on making a website front end for it using PHP that should be text browser friendly.

Specifications:

  • perl

  • curl/libcurl

  • A working deoxy.org/iching/ page
