using How to Read an RSS Feed with PHP Using SimplePie By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:08:40 -0400 If you need to load an RSS feed with the PHP programming language, the open source library SimplePie greatly simplifies the process of pulling in items from a feed to present on a website, store in a database or do something else coooool with the data. There's a full installation guide for SimplePie but you can skip it with just three steps:Download SimplePie 1.5.Copy the file autoloader.php and the folder library to a folder that's accessible from your PHP code.Make note of this folder; you'll be using require_once() to load autoloader.php from that location.SimplePie has been designed to work the same regardless a feed's format. It supports RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom and the earlier versions of RSS. Additionally it can read feed elements from nine namespaces.Here's PHP code that loads feed items from the news site Techdirt and displays them in HTML:// load the SimplePie libraryrequire_once('/var/www/libraries/simplepie-1.5/autoloader.php');// load the feed$feed = new SimplePie();$feed->set_feed_url('https://www.techdirt.com/feed/');$feed->init();$feed->handle_content_type();// create the output$html_output = '';foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) {ÃÂ ÃÂ $html_output .= '<p><a href="' . $item->get_link() . '">' . $item->get_title() . '</a></p>';ÃÂ ÃÂ $html_output .= $item->get_description();ÃÂ ÃÂ $html_output .= '<p>By ' . $item->get_author(0)->get_name() . ', ' . $item->get_date();}// display the outputECHO <<<END$html_outputEND;The API documentation for SimplePie_Item lists the functions that can extract data from each feed item. The versatility of the library is demonstrated by get_authors(), which can retrieve an item's authorship information whether it was in the RSS author element, Dublin Core creator, iTunes author, or Atom author.SimplePie supports caching so that a feed isn't downloaded every time code is executed. The addition of these lines turns on caching, specifies the location of a cache folder and sets the time to use a cached version to four hours (14,400 seconds):$feed->set_cache_location('/var/www/cache/');$feed->set_cache_duration(14400);$feed->enable_cache();SimplePie was created by RSS Advisory Board member Ryan Parman, Geoffrey Sneddon and Ryan McCue. The project is currently maintained on GitHub by Malcom Blaney. Full Article announcements
using How to Read an RSS Feed with Java Using XOM By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Tue, 01 Aug 2023 23:25:57 -0400 There are a lot of libraries for processing XML data with Java that can be used to read RSS feeds. One of the best is the open source library XOM created by the computer book author Elliotte Rusty Harold.As he wrote one of his 20 books about Java and XML, Harold got so frustrated with the available Java libraries for XML that he created his own. XOM, which stands for XML Object Model, was designed to be easy to learn while still being strict about XML, requiring documents that are well-formed and utilize namespaces in complete adherence to the specification. (At the RSS Advisory Board, talk of following a spec is our love language.)XOM was introduced in 2002 and is currently up to version 1.3.9, though all versions have remained compatible since 1.0. To use XOM, download the class library in one of the packages available on the XOM homepage. You can avoid needing any further configuration by choosing one of the options that includes third-party JAR files in the download. This allows XOM to use an included SAX parser under the hood to process XML.Here's Java code that loads items from The Guardian's RSS 2.0 feed containing articles by Ben Hammersley, displaying them as HTML output:// create an XML builder and load the feed using a URLBuilder bob = new Builder();Document doc = bob.build("https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benhammersley/rss");// load the root element and channelElement rss = doc.getRootElement();Element channel = rss.getFirstChildElement("channel");// load all items in the channelElements items = channel.getChildElements("item");for (Element item : items) { // load elements of the item String title = item.getFirstChildElement("title").getValue(); String author = item.getFirstChildElement("creator", "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/").getValue(); String description = item.getFirstChildElement("description").getValue(); // display the output System.out.println(">h2>" + title + ">/h2>"); System.out.println(">p>>b>By " + author + ">/b>>/p>"); System.out.println(">p>" + description + ">/p>");All of the classes used in this code are in the top-level package nu.xom, which has comprehensive JavaDoc describing their use. Like all Java code this is a little long-winded, but Harold's class names do a good job of explaining what they do. A Builder uses its build() method with a URL as the argument to load a feed into a Document over the web. There are also other build methods to load a feed from a file, reader, input stream, or string.Elements can be retrieved by their names such as "title", "link" or "description". An element with only one child of a specific type can be retrieved using the getFirstChildElement() method with the name as the argument:Element linkElement = item.getFirstChildElement("link");An element containing multiple children of the same type uses getChildElements() instead:Elements enclosures = item.getChildElements("enclosure");if (enclosures.size() > 1) {ÃÂ ÃÂ System.out.println("I'm pretty sure an item should only include one enclosure");}If an element is in a namespace, there must be a second argument providing the namespace URI. Like many RSS feeds, the ones from The Guardian use a dc:creator element from Dublin Core to credit the item's author. That namespace has the URI "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/".If the element specified in getFirstChildElement() or getChild Elements() is not present, those methods return null. You may need to check for this when adapting the code to load other RSS feeds.If the name Ben Hammersley sounds familiar, he coined the term "podcasting" in his February 2004 article for The Guardian about the new phenomenon of delivering audio files in RSS feeds.
