6: Re: Parsing RSS (response to 1)
Posted by Simon Carstensen on
We implemented an rss parser in london (Lee Denison did most of the work I think) and I can probably dig up the code.

That would be great, Jeff. Feel free to email it to me if you want.

I would be interested in seeing a good "forgiving" parser to work with lars-blogger and do aggregation of the feeds I read.

Hey, exactly what I'm working on :). A simple News Aggregator for use with Lars Blogger and the CMS. And exactly a "forgiving" one was what I had in mind. I was thinking of perhaps porting Mark Pilgrim's Ultra Liberal RSS Parser (http://www.diveintomark.org/projects/misc/rssparser.py.txt) to Tcl (it's written in Python). As far as I know, it's the most forgiving one of the bunch.

Any ideas or comments?
