Hello,
FYI: I've uploaded two new feed tool gems, that is, feedparser [1]
and feedfilter [2].
What's feedparser?
The feedparser gem is (yet) another gem that tries to "normalize"
web feeds in RSS 2.0 and Atom flavors offering two "normalized" Ruby
classes, that is, Feed and Item (plus the mapping in builders, that
is, RssFeedBuilder and AtomFeedBuilder).
What's feedfilter?
The feedfilter gem collects filters for feeds e.g. using strip_ads
lets you strip feedflare ads or feedburner bags and so on using
(builtin) text patterns (regexes) e.g.
%r{
<div[^>]*?
class=("|')feedflare\1
[^>]*?>
.*?
<\/div>
}mix
Both gems get used by the planet pluto machinery that runs, for
example, Planet Ruby [3].
Cheers.
