About

This is a library implementing an RSS feed generator for the Go programming language (http://golang.org/).

RSS (Rich Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication) is a data format used to publish frequently updated works - such as blog entries, news headlines, audio and video - in a standardized format.

An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

Installing

$ go get github.com/baliw/moverss

Example

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "github.com/baliw/moverss"
        "time"
)

func main() {
        c := moverss.ChannelFactory("Daniel's Channel", "http://RubyDeveloper.com/", "My Blog")
        c.SetPubDate(time.Now().UTC())

        c.AddItem(&moverss.Item{
                Title:       "Ruby Developer",
                Link:        "http://RubyDeveloper.com/",
                Description: "Ruby Developer",
                PubDate:     time.Now().UTC().Format(time.RFC1123),
        })
        c.AddItem(&moverss.Item{
                Title:       "Stack Overflow",
                Link:        "http://stackoverflow.com/users/1305696/daniel",
                Description: "Stack Overflow",
                PubDate:     time.Now().UTC().Format(time.RFC1123),
        })

        // Example: Using an item's SetPubDate method
        i := &moverss.Item{
                Title:       "LinkedIn",
                Link:        "http://www.linkedin.com/in/dangogh",
                Description: "My LinkedIn",
        }
        i.SetPubDate(time.Now().Unix())
        c.AddItem(i)

        fmt.Printf("%s\n\n", c.Publish())
        fmt.Printf("%s\n\n", c.PublishIndent())
}

Other Details

A few of the more obscure data points aren't implemented yet. I haven't seen feeds that implement them yet and I just want to make sure my implementation is good.

If you find this package useful and want to give back, I'd greatly appreciate a link to my Ruby developer site.
