Feedparser - Robust RSS, Atom, and RDF feed parsing in Node.js

This module adds methods for RSS, Atom, and RDF feed parsing in node.js using libxmljs.

Requirements

Feedparser uses libxmljs to parse XML. libxmljs requires scons to be installed prior to installing through npm.

Installing scons through APT/yum

On Debian based Linux distributions like Ubuntu, simply install using apt-get like this:

sudo apt-get install scons

On RedHat based Linux distributions like Fedora or CentOS, simply install using yum like this:

sudo yum install scons

Installing scons through Homebrew

On Mac OS X, the easiest way to install scons is using Homebrew, a great package manager for OS X. With brew installed, simply open Terminal and type:

brew install scons

Installation

npm install feedparser

Example

var FeedParser = require('feedparser')
  , parser

parser = new FeedParser();

parser.on('article', function(article){
    console.log('Got article: %s', JSON.stringify(article));
});

parser.parseFile('./feed');
