As suggested by a few users on the IRC channel, I have added a function to query the UCI ML repository website and return a list of names of currently available datasets and their default task. You can find the updated package here: https://github.com/siddhantjain/UCIMLRepo.jl After cloning

Hi Siddhant, It looks like the python lxml package wraps the libxml2 parser. Julia also has a package that wraps libxm2: https://github.com/lindahua/LightXML.jl. Not sure if the recoverable parsing needed by html is exposed yet, but that should not be too difficult to add, if necessary.

Hello Avik, I was suspecting something similar, although I didn't entirely understand the 'recoverable parsing needed by html...' part of your comment, but I am reading up on it now. I'll probably modify my existing code to incorporate julia packages themselves, next. It might be quite

Ok, I guess this package is not for me. It does not seem to be meant to be running on Windows 7. As I look at the errors more closely as I am posting this, I see your package calls HTTPClient. Can someone tell em whether that package is Windows 7 compatible? julia using UCIMLRepo julia

Hi, Siddhant Thanks for working on this. I took a brief look of the source codes. Here are several comments: 1. It is the convention of Julia package to have a suffix *.jl* in the repo name. For example, you can have your github repo named ``UCLMLRepo.jl``. 2. It seems that the blocks within

Hello everyone, Thank you for your response. 1. I apologise for the careless mistakes in the README.md file. They have been fixed now. 2. *Regarding the incompatibility with Windows machine:* I have little idea in this regard. What I'll do is go through forums and ask for help on the irc and
