Library for serializing the Atom web content syndication format
## Examples
### Writing
```rust
use atom::{Feed, Entry};
let entry = Entry {
id: String::from("urn:uuid:4ae8550b-2987-49fa-9f8c-54c180c418ac"),
title: String::from("Ford hires Elon Musk as CEO"),
updated: String::from("2019-04-01T07:30:00Z"),
..Default::default()
};
let feed = Feed {
id: String::from("urn:uuid:b3420f84-6bdf-4f46-a225-f1b9a14703b6"),
title: String::from("TechCrunch"),
updated: String::from("2019-04-01T07:30:00Z"),
entries: vec![entry],
..Default::default()
};
let atom_string = feed.to_string();
```
### Reading
```rust
use atom::Feed;
let atom_str = r#"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Thanks to [Corey Farwell](https://rwell.org/) for writing
[rust-rss](https://github.com/frewsxcv/rust-rss). This library is a
fairly direct port of it to Atom.
