Fetch data
This gem scrapes the https://webdesk.jsa.or.jp/books/W11M0270 pages to fetch the JIS Standards metadata. By default the data is saved in the ./data folder in YAML format.
The method Relaton::Jis::DataFetcher.fetch(output: "data", format: "yaml") fetches all the documents from the dataset and saves them to the ./data folder in YAML format.
Arguments:
-
output- folder to save documents (default './data'). -
format- the format in which the documents are saved. Possible formats are:yaml,xml,bibxml(defaultyaml).

Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To update the index test fixture (used by tests), run rake spec:update_index. This downloads the latest index-v1.zip from the relaton-data-jis repository.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
