You can install via npm or bower:

npm install --save rss-parser # or bower install --save rss-parser

You can parse RSS from a URL, local file (NodeJS only), or a string.

• parseString(xml, callback)
• parseFile(filename, callback)
• parseURL(url, [options,] callback)

Check out the output format in test/output/reddit.json

var parser = require('rss-parser'); parser.parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss', function(err, parsed) { console.log(parsed.feed.title); parsed.feed.entries.forEach(function(entry) { console.log(entry.title + ':' + entry.link); }) })

<script src="/bower_components/rss-parser/dist/rss-parser.min.js"></script> <script> RSSParser.parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss', function(err, parsed) { console.log(parsed.feed.title); parsed.feed.entries.forEach(function(entry) { console.log(entry.title + ':' + entry.link); }) }) </script>

By default, parseURL will follow up to one redirect. You can change this with options.maxRedirects.

parser.parseURL('https://reddit.com/.rss', {maxRedirects: 3}, function(err, parsed) { console.log(parsed.feed.title); });

Contributions welcome!

The tests run the RSS parser for several sample RSS feeds in test/input and outputs the resulting JSON into test/output. If there are any changes to the output files the tests will fail.

To check if your changes affect the output of any test cases, run

npm test

To update the output files with your changes, run

WRITE_GOLDEN=true npm test

npm version minor # or major/patch grunt build git commit -a -m "browserify" npm publish git push --follow-tags
