Getting a feed from another Web site, should be quick and simple. Any unneeded complications should be avoided.
This class provides way to retrieve feeds in RSS/XML format and display them on a Web page.
There are several versions of RSS/RDF. However, in practice, all versions follow the same pattern: A publication link is contained within <item> tags and consists of a <title>, <link>, and a <description>.
The class was tested with feeds from many different sources using all versions.
The class returns an HTML unordered list. The example script shows how it should be used to process and display the feed in table of a Web page. |
