Atom, RSS and JSON feed parser for Python 3.

Quickstart

----------

Install Atoma with pip::

   pip install atoma

Load and parse an Atom XML file:

.. code:: python

    >>> import atoma

    >>> feed = atoma.parse_atom_feed('atom-feed.xml')

    >>> feed.description

    'The blog relating the daily life of web agency developers'

    >>> len(feed.items)

    5

A small change is needed if you are dealing with an RSS XML file:

.. code:: python

    >>> feed = atoma.parse_rss_feed('rss-feed.xml')

Parsing feeds from the Internet is easy as well:

.. code:: python

    >>> import atoma, requests

    >>> response = requests.get('http://lucumr.pocoo.org/feed.atom')

    >>> feed = atoma.parse_atom_bytes(response.content)

    >>> feed.title.value

Features

--------

* RSS 2.0 - `RSS 2.0 Specification `_

* Atom Syndication Format v1 - `RFC4287 `_

* JSON Feed v1 - `JSON Feed specification `_

* OPML 2.0, to share lists of feeds - `OPML 2.0 `_

* Typed: feeds decomposed into meaningful Python objects

* Secure: uses defusedxml to load untrusted feeds

* Compatible with Python 3.6+

Security warning

----------------

If you use this library to display content from feeds in a web page, you NEED

to clean the HTML contained in the feeds to prevent `Cross-site scripting (XSS)

`_. The `bleach

`_ library is recommended for cleaning feeds.

Useful Resources

----------------

To use this library a basic understanding of feeds is required. For Atom, the

`Introduction to Atom `_ is a must

read. The `RFC 4287 `_ can help lift some

ambiguities. Finally the `feed validator `_ is

great to test hand-crafted feeds.

For RSS, the `RSS specification `_ and

`rssboard.org `_ have a ton of information and

examples.

For OPML, the `OPML specification

`_ has a paragraph dedicated

to its usage for syndication

Non-implemented Features

------------------------

Some seldom used features are not implemented:

* XML signature and encryption

* Some Atom and RSS extensions

* Atom content other than ``text``, ``html`` and ``xhtml``
