Overview:

FeedReader is a C++ library designed to retrieve and parse web feeds such as RSS, ATOM and RDF.

Features:

FeedReader was designed to scale: it is fast, thread-safe, extensible and platform-independent.

In FeedReader, all feeds are transformed via XSL to a uniform schema before being parsed. This means that in order to extend FeedReader to support a new feed format, all that is needed is a new XSL file. The library comes with XSL files supporting for the following feed formats:

• RSS 1.0
• RSS 2.0
• ATOM 0.3
• ATOM 1.0
• RDF

An iterator interface is provided to the feed elements parsed.

Using the library is simple, sample client code is available here.

Dependencies:

The FeedReader library is dependent on, and was tested with the following libraries/versions:

• Boost 1.36 (was also tested with 1.33_1)
• libcurl 7.18.1
• Xerces 2.8.0
• Xalan 1.10.1
• Zlib 1.23 (required by CURL)
