reallysimple
A Node package that reads RSS-like feeds and calls back with a simple, consistent JavaScript object. Easy to use, hides the history.
Code example
I always like to see the code first...
const fs = require ("fs");
const reallysimple = require ("reallysimple");
const urlFeed = "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/World.xml";
reallysimple.readFeed (urlFeed, function (err, theFeed) {
if (!err) {
const jsontext = JSON.stringify (theFeed, undefined, 4);
fs.writeFile ("test.json", jsontext, function (err) {
});
}
});
Here's the file that's created when you run the code.
Why?
I needed a simple routine to call when I wanted to read a feed.
What formats are supported?
RSS, Atom, and RDF.
What we build on
Thanks to Dan MacTough for the feedparser package.
