How is this different from the other few feed parsers? It uses [sax-js](https://github.com/isaacs/sax-js) for xml parsing and [clarinet](https://github.com/dscape/clarinet) for json parsing. That means it is coded in pure Javascript and thus more deployable. I needed a parser that wouldn't require me to install external dependencies or to compile anything. ![Depfu](https://img.shields.io/depfu/fent/feedme.js) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/fent/feedme.js/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/fent/feedme.js) # Usage ```js const FeedMe = require('feedme'); const http = require('http'); http.get('http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001', (res) => { if (res.statusCode != 200) { console.error(new Error(`status code ${res.statusCode}`)); return; } let parser = new FeedMe(); parser.on('title', (title) => { console.log('title of feed is', title); }); parser.on('item', (item) => { console.log(); console.log('news:', item.title); console.log(item.description); }); res.pipe(parser); }); ``` # API ### new FeedMe([buffer]) Creates a new instance of the FeedMe parser. `buffer` can be `true` if you want the parser to buffer the entire feed document as a JSON object, letting you use the `FeedMe#done()` method. ### parser.write(xml) Write to the parser. ### parser.done() Can only be used if `buffer` is `true`. It returns the feed as a Javascript object, should be called after `end` is emitted from the parser. Subelements are put as children objects with their names as keys. When one object has more than one child of the same name, they are put into an array. Items are always put into an array. ```js const FeedMe = require('feedme'); const http = require('http'); http.get('https://nodejs.org/en/feed/blog.xml', (res) => { let parser = new FeedMe(true); res.pipe(parser); parser.on('finish', () => { console.log(parser.done()); }); }); ``` An example of what `parser.done()` could return. ```js { type: 'rss 2.0', title: 'Liftoff News', link: 'http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/', description: 'Liftoff to Space Exploration.', language: 'en-us', pubdate: 'Tue, 10 Jun 2003 04:00:00 GMT', lastbuilddate: 'Tue, 10 Jun 2003 09:41:01 GMT', docs: 'http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss', generator: 'Weblog Editor 2.0', managingeditor: 'editor@example.com', webmaster: 'webmaster@example.com', items: [ { title: 'Star City', link: 'http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/news/2003/news-starcity.asp', description: 'How do Americans get ready to work with Russians aboard the International Space Station?

Emitted whenever the parser finds a new feed item. An item can be inside an `` or ` tag. ### Event: `tagname` * `Object` - The object containing the value of the tag found. Emitted whenever a tag on the root of the document is finished parsing. The root being the `` or `` tag. Example: ```js parser.on('description', (d) => { // do something }); ``` ### Event: 'type' * `string` - Type of feed. Example: atom, rss 2.0, json. ### Event: 'error' * `Error` Emitted when there is an error parsing the document. # Install npm install feedme # Tests Tests are written with [mocha](https://mochajs.org) ```bash npm test ``` --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/feedme · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
