Looks good for RSS2.

My only concern is what the code may look like if you need to support RSS1 / RDF and ATOM ?

It's probably a contentious area but it seems to me the cleanest way to do this would be to use a _javascript_ XSLT implementation (Google or Sarissa) to parse the specific RSS XML and apply a stylesheet. I guess the downside of this approach is that XSLT libs consume a bit of bandwidth...

Well, that's the view from my ivory tower anyways ;-)

Hi Matt,

It is based on the RSS 2.0 specification (http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss) and should be backward compatible with all previous versions. Currently it does not support Atom feeds, but that's on my todo list and will be added soon.

Best,


Robin

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that I've completed the first version of my Ajax.RssReader object. It needs some extra's, but the basic functionality is now available. You can download it from http://www.sayoutloud.com/_javascript_s/rssreader.js

Usage:

    function myCallbackFunction( rss ) {
      alert(rss.channel.title);
      for(n=0; n<rss.items.length; n++) {
        alert(rss.items [n].title);
      }
    }

    function myErrorHandler( rss ) {
      alert( 'An error has occured.' );
    }

    new Ajax.RssReader( 'http://www.mysite.com/feed.xml ', { onSuccess: myCallbackFunction, onFailure: myErrorHandler } );

Please send me your comments and suggestions.

Best,


Robin
