rss

RSS is a small library for simplifying the parsing of RSS and Atom feeds. The package conforms to the RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom 1.0 specifications.

If you encounter any problems with feeds being parsed incorrectly, please open an issue on GitHub.

Example usage:

package main

import (
	"context"

	"github.com/SlyMarbo/rss/v2"
)

func main() {
	reader, err := rss.NewReader()
	if err != nil {
		// handle error.
	}

	feed, err := reader.Fetch(context.Background(), "https://example.com/rss")
	if err != nil {
		// handle error.
	}

	// ... Some time later ...

	err = reader.UpdatePatiently(feed)
	if err != nil {
		// handle error.
	}
}

The library does its best to follow the appropriate specifications and not to set the NextUpdate time too soon. It currently follows all update time management methods in the RSS 1.0, 2.0, and Atom 1.0 specifications. If one is not provided, it defaults to 12 hour intervals. If you are having issues with feed providors dropping connections, use WithDefaultUpdateInterval to set the default update interval.

The project is not proactively maintained, but I'll respond to issues and PRs as soon as I can.
