[](#example)

```
use Mekras\Atom\Document\FeedDocument;
use Mekras\Atom\DocumentFactory;
use Mekras\Atom\Exception\AtomException;

$xml = file_get_contents('http://example.com/atom');

$factory = new DocumentFactory();

try {
    $document = $factory->parseXML($xml);
} catch (AtomException $e) {
    die($e->getMessage());
}

if ($document instanceof FeedDocument) {
    $feed = $document->getFeed();
    echo 'Feed: ', $feed->getTitle(), PHP_EOL;
    echo 'Updated: ', $feed->getUpdated()->format('d.m.Y H:i:s'), PHP_EOL;
    foreach ($feed->getAuthors() as $author) {
        echo 'Author: ', $author->getName(), PHP_EOL;
    }
    foreach ($feed->getEntries() as $entry) {
        echo PHP_EOL;
        echo '  Entry: ', $entry->getTitle(), PHP_EOL;
        if ($entry->getSelfLink()) {
