So I wrote one which parses all possible fields, combined with `namespace fields` and possible `custom fields`. Since its hard to stand on one leg I also added a parser for the `ATOM` format. Same story here only a couple of variations when it comes to the feed tag names. I've spent some time on parsing all tags including possible attributes. However, if you run in to any issues let me know. 1. Install ---------- [](#1-install) Easy install via composer. Still no idea what composer is? Inform yourself [here](http://getcomposer.org). ``` { "require": { "simplon/feed": "*" } } ``` 2. Usage -------- [](#2-usage) Following you can find two examples for fetching, parsing and reading feeds. Note that both examples require composer to be `required` beforehand. ### RSS 2.0 [](#rss--20) ``` use Simplon\Feed\FeedReader; $feed = new FeedReader(); // lets fetch all feed details and its items $feedVo = $feed->rss('http://feeds.feedburner.com/techcrunch/europe?format=xml'); // e.g. reading title var_dump($feedVo->getTitle()); // access possible namespaces var_dump($feedVo->getNamespaces()); // access possible meta data var_dump($feedVo->getMetas()); // access all items foreach($feedVo->getItems() as $item) { // e.g. reading title var_dump($item->getTitle()); // access possible namespaces var_dump($item->getNamespaces()); // access possible meta data var_dump($item->getMetas()); } ``` ### ATOM 1.0 [](#atom-10) ``` use Simplon\Feed\FeedReader; $feed = new FeedReader(); // lets fetch all feed details and its items $feedVo = $feed->atom('http://vvv.tobiassjosten.net/feed.atom'); // e.g. reading title var_dump($feedVo->getTitle()); // access possible namespaces var_dump($feedVo->getNamespaces()); // access possible meta data var_dump($feedVo->getMetas()); // access all items foreach($feedVo->getItems() as $item) { // e.g. reading title var_dump($item->getTitle()); // access possible namespaces var_dump($item->getNamespaces()); // access possible meta data var_dump($item->getMetas()); } ``` --- License ======= [](#license) Simplon freed is freely distributable under the terms of the MIT license.
