Overview

Full documentation can be found on HexDocs.

Current Fiết supports two feed formats: Atom - RFC 4287 and RSS 2.0.

To start parsing, go:

iex> Fiet.parse(File.read!("/path/to/rss.xml"))
{:ok,
 %Fiet.Feed{
   categories: ["Science", "Space"],
   description: "Liftoff to Space Exploration.",
   items: [
     %Fiet.Item{
       description: "How do Americans get ready to work with Russians aboard the International Space Station? They take a crash course in culture, language and protocol at Russia's <a href=\"http://howe.iki.rssi.ru/GCTC/gctc_e.htm\">Star City</a>.",
       id: "http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/2003/06/03.html#item573",
       link: "http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/news/2003/news-starcity.asp",

       title: "Star City"
     },
     %Fiet.Item{
       description: "Sky watchers in Europe, Asia, and parts of Alaska and Canada will experience a <a href=\"http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/30may_solareclipse.htm\">partial eclipse of the Sun</a> on Saturday, May 31st.",
       id: "http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/2003/05/30.html#item572",
       link: nil,
       published_at: "Fri, 30 May 2003 11:06:42 GMT",
       title: "It looks cool"
     }
   ],
   link: "http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/",
   title: "Liftoff News",
   updated_at: "Tue, 10 Jun 2003 09:41:01 GMT"
 }}

Fiết also supports customized RSS 2.0, in case the feed document does not strictly follow the specs. See full documentation for more information on HexDocs.

Why is it called "Fiết"?

To be honest, all the good names had been taken.

"Fiết", a not-so-Vietnamese word that's pronounced 90% like "feed".
