Convert RSS/Atom feeds to JSONFeed.
Converts both RSS and Atom feeds to JSONFeed format. A hosted version exists at feed2json.org.
Even though JSON has its problems, it is hundreds of times better than dealing with XML. Therefore, this package is
designed to help you convert from RSS or Atom feeds into the JSONFeed format. At that point you
know what you have and can deal with it more effectively. It will also convert any non-UTF8 feeds too since JSON is
UTF8 by default.
This project contains the converter but does not fetch the feed for you. You must do that yourself.
Example showing a conversion of an RSS file on disk:
``javascript
let stream = fs.createReadStream(path.join(__dirname, 'rss.xml'))
feed2json.fromStream(stream, url, (err, json) => {
// check for err
// otherwise json is populated with JSONFeed format`
})
Example showing a conversion from an Atom feed fetched with request:
`javascript
let url = "https://chilts.org/atom.xml"
let req = request(url)
feed2json.fromStream(req, url, (err, json) => {
// check for err
// otherwise json is populated with JSONFeed format`
})
Example showing a conversion from a feed already in a string variable:
`javascript
let url = "https://chilts.org/rss.xml"
let str = [
'"',
'
'...etc...',
'
].join('\n')
feed2json.fromString(str, url, (err, json) => {
// check for err
// otherwise json is populated with JSONFeed format``
})
Note: this package has been tested on https://feed2json.org and has converted many feeds to JSONFeed. It's not perfect,
I'm sure, but it's doing a decent job. Please send any PRs or patches my way so we can improve the conversion process
together. :) Many thanks.
