readfeed

Extremely simple RSS generator for my website/blog. To determine the publication date the latest modified timestamp is used from the file metadata then converted to rfc2822 date format.

[dependencies]
readfeed = { git = "https://github.com/notseanray/readfeed" } 

Example usage:

use readfeed::Feed;

fn main() {
    let mut rss = Feed::new(
        &"Example title!",
        &"./examples",
        Some(&"output.xml"),
        &"pages",
        &"https://exampleWebsite.com",
        Some(&"Example Description!"),
    );
    rss.generate().unwrap();
}

output.xml

<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>Example title!</title>
        <link>https://exampleWebsite.com</link>

Any suggestions, improvements, or pull request are welcome. I am relatively new to rust so my quality of code is not great but I'm looking to improve!
