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.
