Make img alt information available #112

Currently, when parsing mf2 data which includes alt information for properties parsed from images, XRay has no way of making the alt information available to library consumers.

This might additionally be a JF2 issue, as the current spec doesn’t mention image alt values at all https://jf2.spec.indieweb.org/

Potential solutions which come to mind:

  • Provide img+alt structures where alt information is available, forcing consumers to check whether every image-based property is a string or img+alt array before consuming (breaks existing code)
  • Provide img+alt structures by default on every property which is parsed as an image, with empty alt values if none is found. Breaks existing code but is more consistent.
  • Use either the ref(erences) list or a new “alts” list on jf2 objects to provide the alt value, indexed by the image URL. This would not break any existing code afaik
