Ask HN: check out my micro app - pygments syntax highlighter via HTTP

This is an unofficial API for the Pygments syntax highlighting library, version 1.2. It's designed to provide syntax highlighting for web applications that don't have Python installed. I made it so that I can use the Pygments Python library from http://heroku.com, which is Ruby-only.

I saw something similar on HN a few days ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821526), but it didn't have an API. So, I made this one, which is _just_ an API :)

Feel free to use it for your projects. I also open sourced the code (http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments), so you can fork, improve, host your own, etc.

Enjoy!

You might like to make a simple form where I could paste some code and select the language from a drop down.
