Re: Buzzbang crawler and search release 0.0.2 now available

I also have a preference for ShEx. The syntax feels more intuitive.
However, just recently a book describing and comparing both ShEx and

Personally, I I like the regex style of expressing cardinalities and the
possibility to combine different shapes for similar concepts in Shex.
