This package allows us to fetch Rss and Atom feeds from the internet.
|
|
They are parsed into an object tree which is a hybrid of both the RSS and Atom
|
|
standards.
|
|
|
|
Supported feeds are:
|
|
- Rss v0.91, 0.91 and 2.0
|
|
- Atom 1.0
|
|
|
|
The package allows us to maintain cache timeout management. This prevents us
|
|
from querying the servers for feed updates too often and risk ip bams. Appart
|
|
from setting a cache timeout manually, the package also optionally adheres to
|
|
the TTL, SkipDays and SkipHours values specied in the feeds themselves.
|
|
|
|
Note that the TTL, SkipDays and SkipHour fields are only part of the RSS spec.
|
|
For Atom feeds, we use the CacheTimeout in the Feed struct.
|
|
|
|
Because the object structure is a hybrid between both RSS and Atom specs, not
|
|
all fields will be filled when requesting either an RSS or Atom feed. I have
|
|
tried to create as many shared fields as possiblem but some of them simply do
|
|
not occur in either the RSS or Atom spec.
