Koop Output RSS 2.0

This is a Koop output plugin that transforms datasets from Koop Provider into a RSS 2.0 feed (with GeoRSS) encoded in XML.

Proposed channel/item RSS 2.0 XML structure: link here

See the RSS 2.0 specification for more information.

Use

The plugin uses highly customizable feed template in JSON for field mapping which needs to be passed via Koop instance in res.locals.feedTemplate and koop.server.locals.feedTemplateTransformsRss.

An example of the feed template is below:

{
    channel: {
        title: 'ArcGIS Hubsite',
        description: 'ArcGIS Hub is an easy-to-configure cloud platform that organizes people, data, and tools to accomplish Initiatives and goals.',
        link: 'https://hub.arcgis.com/',
        category: 'Opendata',
        item: {
            title: '{{name}}',
            description: '{{searchDescription}}',
            author: '{{orgContactEmail}}',
            category: '{{categories}}',
            pubDate: '{{created:toUTC}}'
        }
    }
}
