SYNOPSIS

 use Mojo::Feed::Reader;

 my $feedr = Mojo::Feed::Reader->new( ua => $ua );
 my $feed = $feedr->parse("atom.xml");
 print $feed->title, "\n",
   $feed->items->map('title')->join("\n");

 # Feed discovery (returns a Promise):
 $feedr->discover("search.cpan.org")->then(sub {

   if (@feeds) {
     print $_->url for (@feeds);
   }

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Feed::Reader is an Object Oriented module for identifying, fetching and parsing RSS and Atom Feeds. It relies on Mojo::DOM for XML/HTML parsing and Mojo::UserAgent for fetching feeds and checking URLs.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Feed::Reader implements the following attributes.

ua

$feed->ua(Mojo::UserAgent->new());
$feed->ua->get("http://example.com");

Mojo::UserAgent object used to fetch feeds from the web.

METHODS

Mojo::Feed::Reader inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

new

Construct a new Mojo::Feed::Reader object.

discover

my @feeds;
Mojo::Feed::Reader->new->discover('search.cpan.org')
          ->then(sub { @feeds = @_; })
          ->wait();
for my $feed in (@feeds) {
  print $feed . "\n";
}
# @feeds is a list of Mojo::URL objects

A Mojo port of Feed::Find by Benjamin Trott. This method implements feed auto-discovery for finding syndication feeds, given a URL. Returns a Mojo::Promise, which is fulfilled with a list of feeds (Mojo::URL objects)

parse

my $feedr = Mojo::Feed::Reader->new;
# parse an RSS/Atom feed
my $url = Mojo::URL->new('http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot');
my $feed = $feedr->parse($url);

# parse a file
$feed2 = $feedr->new->parse('/downloads/foo.rss');

# parse a string
my $str = Mojo::File->new('atom.xml')->slurp;
$feed3 = $feedr->parse($str);

A minimalist liberal RSS/Atom parser, using Mojo::DOM queries.

parse_opml

my @subscriptions = Mojo::Feed->parse_opml( 'mysubs.opml' );
foreach my $sub (@subscriptions) {
  say 'RSS URL is: ',     $sub->{xmlUrl};
  say 'Website URL is: ', $sub->{htmlUrl};
  say 'categories: ', join ',', @{$sub->{categories}};
}

Parse an OPML subscriptions file and return the list of feeds as an array of hashrefs.

Each hashref will contain an array ref in the key 'categories' listing the folders (parent nodes) in the OPML tree the subscription item appears in.
