```

## Error Handling

### Error Types

Errors are returned as standard Go errors with descriptive messages.

```go
extractor, err := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, url)
if err != nil {
    // Handle creation error
    return fmt.Errorf("failed to create extractor: %w", err)
}

metadata, err := extractor.ExtractAll()
if err != nil {
    // Handle extraction error
    return fmt.Errorf("failed to extract metadata: %w", err)
}
```

### Common Errors

- Parse errors: Invalid HTML structure
- URL errors: Invalid base URL
- Extraction errors: Failed to extract specific format

## Examples

### Basic Usage

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    metaoxide "github.com/yourusername/meta-oxide-go"
)

func main() {
    html := `<!DOCTYPE html>...`

    extractor, err := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, "https://example.com")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer extractor.Free()

    metadata, err := extractor.ExtractAll()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Metadata: %+v\n", metadata)
}
```

### Extract from URL

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "log"
    "net/http"

    metaoxide "github.com/yourusername/meta-oxide-go"
)

func extractFromURL(url string) (metaoxide.Metadata, error) {
    resp, err := http.Get(url)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    extractor, err := metaoxide.NewExtractor(string(body), url)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    defer extractor.Free()

    return extractor.ExtractAll()
}

func main() {
    metadata, err := extractFromURL("https://example.com")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Title: %v\n", metadata["title"])
}
```

### Concurrent Extraction

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sync"

    metaoxide "github.com/yourusername/meta-oxide-go"
)

func extractConcurrent(urls []string) []metaoxide.Metadata {
    var wg sync.WaitGroup
    results := make([]metaoxide.Metadata, len(urls))

    for i, url := range urls {
        wg.Add(1)
        go func(index int, targetURL string) {
            defer wg.Done()

            metadata, err := extractFromURL(targetURL)
            if err != nil {
                fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
                return
            }

            results[index] = metadata
        }(i, url)
    }

    wg.Wait()
    return results
}
```

### JSON Output

```go
package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "log"

    metaoxide "github.com/yourusername/meta-oxide-go"
)

func main() {
    extractor, err := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, url)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer extractor.Free()

    metadata, err := extractor.ExtractAll()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    jsonData, err := json.MarshalIndent(metadata, "", "  ")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(string(jsonData))
}
```

### Selective Extraction

```go
func extractSocialMetadata(html, url string) error {
    extractor, err := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, url)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    defer extractor.Free()

    // Only extract social media metadata
    og, err := extractor.ExtractOpenGraph()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    twitter, err := extractor.ExtractTwitterCard()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    fmt.Printf("OG: %+v\n", og)
    fmt.Printf("Twitter: %+v\n", twitter)

    return nil
}
```

## Thread Safety

The Extractor is thread-safe. Each goroutine should create its own Extractor instance.

```go
// Safe: Each goroutine has its own extractor
for _, url := range urls {
    go func(u string) {
        extractor, _ := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, u)
        defer extractor.Free()
        // ...
    }(url)
}

// Unsafe: Sharing extractor across goroutines
extractor, _ := metaoxide.NewExtractor(html, url)
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
    go func() {
        extractor.ExtractAll() // Don't do this!
    }()
}
```

## Performance Tips

1. **Reuse HTTP Client**: Use a single `http.Client` for multiple requests
2. **Worker Pool**: Limit concurrent extractions with a worker pool
3. **Selective Extraction**: Extract only needed formats
4. **Proper Cleanup**: Always call `Free()` to prevent memory leaks
