A system and method for dynamically enumerating the links in arbitrary hyperlinked data structures using parsing rules are provided. A hyperlinked data structure may be enumerated by reading one or more data objects through an object access interface, parsing the one or more data objects in the data structure, identifying two or more data elements in the one or more data objects, combining one or more data elements to obtain one or more hyperlink addresses, and reading the one or more hyperlink addresses to enumerate the one or more data objects. In one embodiment, hyperlinked structures such as Websites, may be enumerated using configuration templates. The templates may include heuristic parsing rules. The definition of the templates may be independent of the evolution of the data objects over time.
