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.
