rss-rs

A fast RSS feed parser written in Rust.

rss-rs provides a complete implementation of the RSS 2.0 specification.

Usage

To use rss-rs just add the dependency to your Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
rss-rs = "0.2"

The package includes a single crate named rss.

extern crate rss;

Reading

Reading can be done using any object that implements the BufRead trait.

let reader: BufRead = ...;
let channel = Channel::read_from(reader).unwrap();

Extensions

Elements which have non-default namespaces will be considered extensions. Extensions are stored in Channel.extensions and Item.extensions.

For conveninence, Dublin Core and iTunes extensions are extracted to structs and stored in Channel.itunes_ext, Channel.dublin_core_ext, Item.itunes_ext, and Item.dublin_core_ext.

Invalid Feeds

As a best effort to parse invalid feeds rss-rs will default elements declared as "required" by the RSS 2.0 specification to an empty string.
