== Feed Normalizer

An extensible Ruby wrapper for Atom and RSS parsers.

Feed normalizer wraps various RSS and Atom parsers, and returns a single unified

object graph, regardless of the underlying feed format.

== Download

* gem install feed-normalizer

* http://rubyforge.org/projects/feed-normalizer

* svn co http://feed-normalizer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

== Usage

    require 'feed-normalizer'

    require 'open-uri'

    feed = FeedNormalizer::FeedNormalizer.parse open('http://www.iht.com/rss/frontpage.xml')

    feed.title # => "International Herald Tribune"

    feed.url # => "http://www.iht.com/pages/index.php"

    feed.entries.first.url # => "http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/10/03/frontpage/web.1003UN.php"

    feed.class # => FeedNormalizer::Feed

    feed.parser # => "RSS::Parser"

Now read an Atom feed, and the same class is returned, and the same terminology applies:

    feed = FeedNormalizer::FeedNormalizer.parse open('http://www.atomenabled.org/atom.xml')

    feed.title # => "AtomEnabled.org"

    feed.url # => "http://www.atomenabled.org/atom.xml"

    feed.entries.first.url # => "http://www.atomenabled.org/2006/09/moving-toward-atom.php"

The feed representation stays the same, even though a different parser was used.

    feed.class # => FeedNormalizer::Feed

    feed.parser # => "SimpleRSS"

== Cleaning / Sanitizing

    feed.title # => "My Feed > Your Feed"

    feed.entries.first.content # => "
