The gofeed library is a robust feed parser that supports parsing both RSS, Atom and JSON feeds. The library provides a universal gofeed. Parser that will parse and convert all feed types into a hybrid gofeed.Feed model. You also have the option of utilizing the feed-specific atom. Parser or RSS. Parser or JSON. Parser parsers generate atoms. Feed, RSS.Feed and JSON. Feed respectively. The gofeed library is comprised of a universal feed parser and several feed-specific parsers. Which one you choose depends entirely on your use case. If you will be handling RSS, atom and JSON feed then it makes sense to use the gofeed. If you know ahead of time that you will only be parsing one feed type then it would make sense to use RSS. Parser or atom.Parser or JSON. The universal gofeed.Parser works in 3 stages, detection, parsing and translation. It first detects the feed type that it is currently parsing.
Features
- Use gofeed.Parser to parse an arbitrary RSS or Atom feed into the hybrid gofeed.Feed model
- This hybrid model allows you to treat RSS, Atom and JSON feeds the same
- The gofeed library provides two feed specific parsers
- Marginally faster because you are able to skip the translation step
- You can easily use the rss. Parser , atom.Parser or json.Parser directly if you have a usage scenario that requires it
- Instantiate Parser with BasicAuthentication
