RSS feeds

Post by newdep »

Hello All,

Im actualy not realy into XML so im just thinking out loud..

How easy is it for Newlisp XML extention to create or read RSS feeds from it?

It a very wild upcoming issue these RSS feeds on webpages and it would enhance newlisp nicely...

Regards, Norman.

RSS is just a special XML format to format summaries of news/blog sites. Easy to do in newLISP, just some (println ..) statements emitting XML and content of whatevr you want in your RSS file.

here are severeal RSS versions the easiest to start with is rss 0.92 or 2.00, both very simple. Go here

and for rss 2.0 here:

Both newlisp-wiki and newlisp-blog have a file called rss.cgi formatting rss for those apps. See also the links on: http://newlisp.org/wiki/index.cgi?page=News and http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=News

ps: rss 1.o is rdf based and much more complex.
