Hi Eiffel users,

I am looking for a ATOM and/or RSS feed parser.
Before building it myself, I would like to know if anyone would have such
code, and agrees to share it.
I would prefer to contribute to an existing library and eventually
update/improve it if needed, rather than building a new one.

Thanks for any answer.
Regards,

There was a library written - I've looked at it in the past - I had to
update the code to get it to compile - i think it was RSS 2.0 and earlier,
and no atom. Just google.

Actually, I can't find it now.

Same for me.
I remember about this lib, and same in the past I was not compiling out of
the box.
Maybe I have it somewhere in an archive.
But unless someone has such code to share, it will be faster to build a new
one.

I will wait a bit, and then I would probably work on such lib.
Of course, anyone willing to collaborate is welcome.

Ok I decided to give it a try.
See at https://github.com/jocelyn/EWF/tree/feed_parser_01/library/text/parser/feed https://github.com/jocelyn/EWF/tree/feed_parser_01/library/text/parser/feed
This is mostly targetted for immediate need.
It may not support the full ATOM or RSS2.0 specification.

I will try to integrate this to official EWF project repository soon.
In the meantime, any comment, contribution is welcome.
