Architecture

The goal of findcar is to be easily extensible with further car search engines. Every search engine is expected to implement the Searcher trait, after which it can be plugged into the main engine as one of the searchers.

Searchers

This project comes with two searchers:

• donedeal.ie

• carzone.ie

Contributions

Any contributions are very much welcome. Please feel free to suggest/implement new search engines or new functionaliy and I would be very happy to review and discuss!
