Flexible enough to suit beginners and veterans alike, SimplePie is focused on [speed, ease of use, compatibility and standards compliance](http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/what_is_simplepie). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.6+ (Required since SimplePie 1.5.3) - libxml2 (certain 2.7.x releases are too buggy for words, and will crash) - One of iconv, mbstring or intl extensions - cURL or fsockopen() - PCRE support What comes in the package? -------------------------- [](#what-comes-in-the-package) 1. `library/` - SimplePie classes for use with the autoloader 2. `autoloader.php` - The SimplePie Autoloader if you want to use the separate file version. 3. `README.markdown` - This document. 4. `LICENSE.txt` - A copy of the BSD license. 5. `compatibility_test/` - The SimplePie compatibility test that checks your server for required settings. 6. `demo/` - A basic feed reader demo that shows off some of SimplePie's more noticeable features. 7. `idn/` - A third-party library that SimplePie can optionally use to understand Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). 8. `build/` - Scripts related to generating pieces of SimplePie 9. `test/` - SimplePie's unit test suite. ### Where's `simplepie.inc`? [](#wheres-simplepieinc) Since SimplePie 1.3, we've split the classes into separate files to make it easier to maintain and use. If you'd like a single monolithic file, you can run `php build/compile.php` to generate `SimplePie.compiled.php`. To start the demo ----------------- [](#to-start-the-demo) 1. Upload this package to your webserver. 2. Make sure that the cache folder inside of the demo folder is server-writable. 3. Navigate your browser to the demo folder.

Project status -------------- [](#project-status) SimplePie is currently maintained by Malcolm Blaney. As an open source project, SimplePie is maintained on a somewhat sporadic basis.
