Initial plan

  • Create UI to let user to enter link to a Judgment, e.g. from the "Find Case Law" service provided by the UK National Archive.

  • Make API call to that URL, resulting in a API call to get the relevant XML file.

  • Parse the XML to identify all references to dates, and save the following data to a table in the backend.

    • Date mentioned in the Judgment, e.g. " 27th or 28th August 2019".

    • Paragraph reference

    • Sentence in which the date occurs.

  • Display the information from the backend on a table for the users, with the dates placed in chronological order.

Current bottlebeck

  • Finding a way to consistently parse the paragraph number.
