A CakePHP plugin containing a RssView class to generate RSS feeds.

Version notice
--------------

[](#version-notice)

This branch is for use with **CakePHP 5.1+**. See [version map](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-feed/wiki#cakephp-version-map) for details.

What is this plugin for?
------------------------

[](#what-is-this-plugin-for)

There used to be a core helper for RSS generation, but it had several deficiencies. It also was removed in 4.0. So this plugin aims to provide a better support for feed generation.

### Goals of this view class

[](#goals-of-this-view-class)

- Support view-less actions via serialize.
- Get rid of the ridiculously verbose "inline" namespace declarations.
- Simplify the use of namespaces and their prefixes (auto-add only those that are actually used).
- Support CDATA (unescaped content).
- Allow mini-templating where necessary.

### Additional features

[](#additional-features)

- Automatic View class mapping via `rss` extension.

See [my article](https://www.dereuromark.de/2013/10/03/rss-feeds-in-cakephp/) for details on the history of this view class.

### Demo

Installation &amp; Docs
-----------------------

- [Documentation](docs/README.md)

### Possible TODOs

[](#possible-todos)

- Maybe add Feed readers instead of just writers.
- Add AtomView ?
