Intro

When I was searching for an RSS feed reader I did not find any which was able to pass along namespaced data. So I wrote one which parses all possible fields, combined with namespace fields and possible custom fields. Since its hard to stand on one leg I also added a parser for the ATOM format. Same story here only a couple of variations when it comes to the feed tag names., _(*1)

I've spent some time on parsing all tags including possible attributes. However, if you run in to any issues let me know., _(*2)

1. Install

Easy install via composer. Still no idea what composer is? Inform yourself here., _(*3)

{
  "require": {
    "simplon/feed": "*"
  }
}

2. Usage

Following you can find two examples for fetching, parsing and reading feeds. Note that both examples require composer to be required beforehand., _(*4)

RSS 2.0

use Simplon\Feed\FeedReader;

$feed = new FeedReader();

// lets fetch all feed details and its items
$feedVo = $feed->rss('http://feeds.feedburner.com/techcrunch/europe?format=xml');

// e.g. reading title
var_dump($feedVo->getTitle());

// access possible namespaces
var_dump($feedVo->getNamespaces());

// access possible meta data
var_dump($feedVo->getMetas());

// access all items
foreach($feedVo->getItems() as $item)
{
    // e.g. reading title
    var_dump($item->getTitle());

    // access possible namespaces
    var_dump($item->getNamespaces());

    // access possible meta data
    var_dump($item->getMetas());
}

ATOM 1.0

use Simplon\Feed\FeedReader;

$feed = new FeedReader();

// lets fetch all feed details and its items
$feedVo = $feed->atom('http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/feed.atom');

// e.g. reading title
var_dump($feedVo->getTitle());

// access possible namespaces
var_dump($feedVo->getNamespaces());

// access possible meta data
var_dump($feedVo->getMetas());

// access all items
foreach($feedVo->getItems() as $item)
{
    // e.g. reading title
    var_dump($item->getTitle());

    // access possible namespaces
    var_dump($item->getNamespaces());

    // access possible meta data
    var_dump($item->getMetas());
}
