rss-parser-browser
This is a direct clone from https://github.com/bobby-brennan/rss-parser
I have removed the node dependencies so that it works with webpack in browser.
All credits should go to bobby-brennan.
Installation
You can install via npm:
npm install --save rss-parser-browser
# or
yarn add rss-parser-browser
Usage
You can parse RSS from a URL or a string.
parseString(xml, [options,], callback)
parseURL(url, [options,] callback)
Output
Check out the full output format in test/output/reddit.json
Notes:
- The
dc:
prefix will be removed from all fields - Both
dc:date
andpubDate
will be available in ISO 8601 format asisoDate
- If
author
is specified, but notdc:creator
,creator
will be set toauthor
(see article)
Usage
var parser = require('rss-parser-browser');
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);
})
})
Redirects
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);
});
Custom Fields
If your RSS feed contains fields that aren't currently returned, you can access them using the customFields
option.
var options = {
customFields: {
feed: ['otherTitle', 'extendedDescription'],
item: ['coAuthor','subtitle'],
}
}
parser.parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss', options, function(err, parsed) {
console.log(parsed.feed.extendedDescription);
parsed.feed.entries.forEach(function(entry) {
console.log(entry.coAuthor + ':' + entry.subtitle);
})
})
To rename fields, you can pass in an array with two items, in the format [fromField, toField]
:
var options = {
customFields: {
item: [
['dc:coAuthor', 'coAuthor'],
]
}
}

Contributions welcome!
Running Tests
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
