For all 12 of us out there, the ONIX-Data project is a useful set of .NET classes to parse the ONIX XML format for books’ data (along with other media)…but it’s just never appeared the part. It had food in its hair, shabby clothes, and…well…let’s be honest: it smelled a little sour. It got the job done, but it wasn’t much to look at.

But with a great deal of help from Stanisław Szołkowski, now ONIX-Data looks like the real deal! It’s got unit tests, benchmarking, continuous integration, shiny badges…everything that would have been there if I wasn’t so damn lazy! But now, you can take ONIX-Data out to dinner, and nobody would look at you in horror.

Check out the new solution, along with the new .NET Standard version of the library at Nuget!
