Java Package Processes All RSS Formats

SS (Real Simple Syndication) is a flexible and efficient format for exchanging structured, dynamically changing data, such as news headlines, blogs, job vacancies, new projects, recent wiki changes, etc. You might not have noticed it yet, but as soon as you get tuned in, you'll discover it is ubiquitous.

You'll find several scattered Java packages that work with RSS. Some can read certain formats, while others can write them as well. The class I feature in this article, com.myjavatools.xml.Rss, reads all known RSS formats (from version 0.90 to 2.0) and outputs all the converted data in the 2.0 format.

It's quick, easy and you get access to all the articles on DevX.
