The of this project is to convert RSS or ATOM feeds to the json-feed format.

Installation

parseString(xml, [options,], callback)
parseFile(filename, [options,], callback)
parseURL(url, [options,] callback)

NodeJS

var parser = require('rss-parser');

parser.parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss', function(err, parsed) {
  console.log(parsed.feed.title);
  parsed.feed.entries.forEach(function(entry) {
    console.log(entry.title + ':' + entry.link);
  })
})

By default, parseURL will follow up to one redirect. You can change this with options.maxRedirects.

parser.parseURL('https://reddit.com/.rss', {maxRedirects: 3}, function(err, parsed) {
  console.log(parsed.feed.title);
});

Fork of rss-parser

This project was originally forked from bobby-brennan/rss-parser. It's mostly his work, I've just changed the output to match the JSON-Feed spec.
