## Introduction
Built on top of [XMLCoder](https://github.com/CoreOffice/XMLCoder), SyndiKit can be used to import and read site data whether from a WordPress site, RSS feeds, YouTube channel or podcast.
## Features
* Import of RSS 2.0, Atom, and JSONFeed formats
* Extensions for iTunes-compatabile podcasts, YouTube channels, as well as WordPress export data
* User-friendly errors
* Abstractions for format-agnostic parsing
## Installation
### Requirements
**Apple Platforms**
- Xcode 13.3 or later
- Swift 5.5.2 or later
- iOS 15.4 / watchOS 8.5 / tvOS 15.4 / macOS 12.3 or later deployment targets
**Linux**
- Ubuntu 18.04 or later
- Swift 5.5.2 or later
### Swift Package Manager
Swift Package Manager is Apple's decentralized dependency manager to integrate libraries to your Swift projects. It is now fully integrated with Xcode 11.
To integrate **SyndiKit** into your project using SPM, specify it in your Package.swift file:
```swift
let package = Package(
...
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/brightdigit/SyndiKit", from: "0.3.0")
],
targets: [
.target(
name: "YourTarget",
dependencies: ["SyndiKit", ...]),
...
]
)
```
If this is for an Xcode project simply import the repo at:
```
https://github.com/brightdigit/SyndiKit
```
## Usage
SyndiKit provides models and utilities for decoding RSS feeds of various formats and extensions.
### Decoding Your First Feed
You can get started decoding your feed by creating your first ``SynDecoder``. Once you've created you decoder you can decode using ``SynDecoder/decode(_:)``:
```swift
let decoder = SynDecoder()
let empowerAppsData = Data(contentsOf: "empowerapps-show.xml")!
let empowerAppsRSSFeed = try decoder.decode(empowerAppsData)
```
### Working with Abstractions
Rather than working directly with the various formats, **SyndiKit** abstracts many of the common properties of the various formats. This enables developers to be agnostic regarding the specific format.
```swift
let decoder = SynDecoder()
// decoding a RSS 2.0 feed
let empowerAppsData = Data(contentsOf: "empowerapps-show.xml")!
let empowerAppsRSSFeed = try decoder.decode(empowerAppsData)
print(empowerAppsRSSFeed.title) // Prints "Empower Apps"
// decoding a Atom feed from YouTube
let kiloLocoData = Data(contentsOf: "kilo.youtube.xml")!
let kiloLocoAtomFeed = try decoder.decode(kiloLocoData)
print(kiloLocoAtomFeed.title) // Prints "Kilo Loco"
```
### Specifying Formats
If you wish to access properties of specific formats, you can attempt to cast the objects to see if they match:
```swift
let empowerAppsRSSFeed = try decoder.decode(empowerAppsData)
if let rssFeed = empowerAppsRSSFeed as? RSSFeed {
print(rssFeed.channel.title) // Prints "Empower Apps"
}
let kiloLocoAtomFeed = try decoder.decode(kiloLocoData)
if let atomFeed = kiloLocoAtomFeed as? AtomFeed {
print(atomFeed.title) // Prints "Empower Apps"
}
```
### Accessing Extensions
In addition to supporting RSS, Atom, and JSONFeed, **SyndiKit** also supports various RSS extensions for specific media including: YouTube, iTunes, and WordPress.
You can access these properties via their specific feed formats or via the ``Entryable/media`` property on ``Entryable``.
```swift
let empowerAppsRSSFeed = try decoder.decode(empowerAppsData)
switch empowerAppsRSSFeed.children.last?.media {
case .podcast(let podcast):
print(podcast.title) // print "WWDC 2018 - What Does It Mean For Businesses?"
default:
print("Not a Podcast! 🤷♂️")
}
let kiloLocoAtomFeed = try decoder.decode(kiloLocoData)
switch kiloLocoAtomFeed.children.last?.media {
case .video(.youtube(let youtube):
print(youtube.videoID) // print "SBJFl-3wqx8"
print(youtube.channelID) // print "UCv75sKQFFIenWHrprnrR9aA"
default:
print("Not a Youtube Video! 🤷♂️")
}
```
## Documentation
