A package for parsing RSS 2.0, Atom 1.0. Works on both Node.js and the browser.
- Small footprint
- Query attributes helper (see below)
- Cross-platform works on browser and Node.js
- TypeScript ready
npm add unreadimport { parse } from 'unread';
const res = await fetch('https://overreacted.io/rss.xml');
const rss = await res.text();
const output = await parse(rss);
// We support common attributes
const { feed, items } = output;
console.log(feed.title());
console.log(feed.feedLink());
// And you can also query custom ones (as long as we support that namespace)
console.log(item[0].get(['author', 'dc:creator'])); // returns first match or undefined
console.log(item[0].getMany(['atom:link[ref=enclosure]'])); // Array of nodesWe support the followings XML namespaces:
