==Introduction==

Parsers allow Owl to extract data from a variety of message boards and display these data in a unified interface. Version 1.0 of Owl is released with a Lua Parser for vBulletin 3.x. Future version of Owl will have parsers for vBulletin 4.x and phpBB 3.x. Developers can write parsers for a specific message board system that can then be used with Owl.

The main goal of this document is to explain the process of writing a parser for Owl (version 1.0) and the requirements that each parser must meet in order to work properly.

This article assumes the reader is familiar with Lua, HTML and simple server/client design.
