A simple, yet powerful and fully customizable RSS 2.0 writing library, with a native support of iTunes podcasting tags and other RSS extensions.

Why a new Rss writing library?
------------------------------

[](#why-a-new-rss-writing-library)

At the time of writing this library, the current state of feed writing libraries was not satisfying. What I found was either difficult to extend, too generic, or wasn't taking advantage of best practices in order to reduce the [Time To First Byte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_To_First_Byte).

Why should I use this over other libraries?
-------------------------------------------

[](#why-should-i-use-this-over-other-libraries)

Use this library if you want:

- RSS2 feeds (because there's no support for other types of feed).
- Extensions for iTunes podcasting, Slash, Sy, DublinCreator, Atom, or just your own.
- Best performance (memory and TTFB) thanks to XML Streaming.
- Object oriented feed creation with POPO

How can I install it?
---------------------

[](#how-can-i-install-it)

Run `composer require marcw/rss-writer`.

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

### Feed creation

[](#feed-creation)

See [this file](tests/RssWriterTest.php).

### Rss Streamed Response

[](#rss-streamed-response)

See [this file](tests/Bridge/Symfony/HttpFoundation/RssStreamedResponseTest.php).

### Symfony Bridge

[](#symfony-bridge)

#### HttpFoundation

[](#httpfoundation)

The library provides an extension to the `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response` class for streaming rss responses to the client. See [`RssStreamedResponse.php`](src/Bridge/Symfony/HttpFoundation/RssStreamedResponse.php). Use it from your controllers like this:

```
use MarcW\RssWriter\Bridge\Symfony\HttpFoundation\RssStreamedResponse;

public function myAction()
{
    // $channel = ... (whatever you use to create your Channel object)

    return new RssStreamedResponse($channel, $this->get('marcw_rss_writer.rss_writer'));
}
```

#### Form

[](#form)

An iTunes category choice list is available to use in your forms. Follow this example:

```
