=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a basic framework for creating and maintaining
RDF Site Summary (RSS) files. This distribution also contains many
examples that allow you to generate HTML from an RSS, convert between
0.9, 0.91, and 1.0 version, and other nifty things.
This might be helpful if you want to include news feeds on your Web
site from sources like Slashdot and Freshmeat or if you want to syndicate
your own content.
XML::RSS currently supports 0.9, 0.91, and 1.0 versions of RSS.
See http://backend.userland.com/rss091 for information on RSS 0.91.
See http://www.purplepages.ie/RSS/netscape/rss0.90.html for RSS 0.9.
See http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/ for RSS 1.0.
RSS was originally developed by Netscape as the format for
Netscape Netcenter channels, however, many Web sites have since
adopted it as a simple syndication format. With the advent of RSS 1.0,
users are now able to syndication many different kinds of content
including news headlines, threaded messages, products catalogs, etc.
B<Note:> In order to parse and generate dates (such as C<pubDate>
and C<dc:date>) it is recommended to use L<DateTime::Format::Mail> and
L<DateTime::Format::W3CDTF> , which is what L<XML::RSS> uses internally
and requires.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item XML::RSS->new(version=>$version, encoding=>$encoding, output=>$output, stylesheet=>$stylesheet_url, 'xml:base'=>$base)
Constructor for XML::RSS. It returns a reference to an XML::RSS object.
You may also pass the RSS version and the XML encoding to use. The default
B<version> is 1.0. The default B<encoding> is UTF-8. You may also specify
the B<output> format regardless of the input version. This comes in handy
when you want to convert RSS between versions. The XML::RSS modules
will convert between any of the formats. If you set <encode_output> XML::RSS
will make sure to encode any entities in generated RSS. This is now on by
default.
You can also pass an optional URL to an XSL stylesheet that can be used to
output an C<<< <?xsl-stylesheet ... ?> >>> meta-tag in the header that will
allow some browsers to render the RSS file as HTML.
You can also set C<encode_cb> to a reference to a subroutine that will
encode the output in a custom way. This subroutine accepts two parameters:
a reference to the C<XML::RSS::Private::Output::Base>-derived object (which
should normally not concern you) and the text to encode. It should return
the text to encode. If not set, then the module will encode using its
custom encoding routine.
xml:base will set an C<xml:base> property as per
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/
Note that in order to encode properly, you need to handle "CDATA" sections
properly. Look at L<XML::RSS::Private::Output::Base>'s C<_default_encode()>
method for how to do it properly.
=item add_item (title=>$title, link=>$link, description=>$desc, mode=>$mode)
Adds an item to the XML::RSS object. B<mode> and B<description> are optional.
The default B<mode>
is append, which adds the item to the end of the list. To insert an item, set the mode
to B<insert>.
The items are stored in the array C<< @{$obj->{'items'}} >> where
B<$obj> is a reference to an XML::RSS object.
One can specify a category by using the B<'category'> key. B<'category'> can
point to an array reference of categories:
$rss->add_item(
title => "Foo&Bar",
link => "http://www.my.tld/",
category => ["OneCat", "TooCat", "3Kitties"],
);
=item as_string;
Returns a string containing the RSS for the XML::RSS object. This
method will also encode special characters along the way.
=item channel (title=>$title, link=>$link, description=>$desc, language=>$language, rating=>$rating, copyright=>$copyright, pubDate=>$pubDate, lastBuildDate=>$lastBuild, docs=>$docs, managingEditor=>$editor, webMaster=>$webMaster)
Channel information is required in RSS. The B<title> cannot
be more the 40 characters, the B<link> 500, and the B<description>
500 when outputting RSS 0.9. B<title>, B<link>, and B<description>,
are required for RSS 1.0. B<language> is required for RSS 0.91.
The other parameters are optional for RSS 0.91 and 1.0.
To retrieve the values of the channel, pass the name of the value
(title, link, or description) as the first and only argument
like so:
$title = channel('title');
=item image (title=>$title, url=>$url, link=>$link, width=>$width, height=>$height, description=>$desc)
Adding an image is not required. B<url> is the URL of the
image, B<link> is the URL the image is linked to. B<title>, B<url>,
and B<link> parameters are required if you are going to
use an image in your RSS file. The remaining image elements are used
in RSS 0.91 or optionally imported into RSS 1.0 via the rss091 namespace.
The method for retrieving the values for the image is the same as it
is for B<channel()>.
=item parse ($string, \%options)
Parses an RDF Site Summary which is passed into B<parse()> as the first
parameter. Returns the instance of the object so one can say
C<< $rss->parse($string)->other_method() >>.
See the add_module() method for instructions on automatically adding
modules as a string is parsed.
%options is a list of options that specify how parsing is to be done. The
available options are:
=over 4
=item * allow_multiple
Takes an array ref of names which indicates which elements should
be allowed to have multiple occurrences. So, for example, to parse
feeds with multiple enclosures
$rss->parse($xml, { allow_multiple => ['enclosure'] });
=item * hashrefs_instead_of_strings
If true, then some items (so far "C<description>") will become hash-references
instead of strings (with a B<content> key containing their content , B<if>
they have XML attributes. Without this key, the attributes will be ignored
and there will only be a string. Thus, specifying this option may break
compatibility.
=item * modules_as_arrays
This option when true, will parse the modules key-value-pairs as an arrayref of
C<<< { el => $key_name, value => $value, } >>> hash-refs to gracefully
handle duplicate items (see below). It will not affect the known modules such
as dc ("Dublin Core").
=back
=item parsefile ($file, \%options)
Same as B<parse()> except it parses a file rather than a string.
See the add_module() method for instructions on automatically adding
modules as a string is parsed.
=item save ($file)
Saves the RSS to a specified file.
=item skipDays (day => $day)
Populates the skipDays element with the day $day.
=item skipHours (hour => $hour)
Populates the skipHours element, with the hour $hour.
=item strict ($boolean)
If it's set to 1, it will adhere to the lengths as specified
by Netscape Netcenter requirements. It's set to 0 by default.
Use it if the RSS file you're generating is for Netcenter.
strict will only work for RSS 0.9 and 0.91. Do not use it for
RSS 1.0.
=item textinput (title=>$title, description=>$desc, name=>$name, link=>$link);
This RSS element is also optional. Using it allows users to submit a Query
to a program on a Web server via an HTML form. B<name> is the HTML form name
and B<link> is the URL to the program. Content is submitted using the GET
method.
Access to the B<textinput> values is the same as B<channel()> and
B<image()>.
=item add_module(prefix=>$prefix, uri=>$uri)
Adds a module namespace declaration to the XML::RSS object, allowing you
to add modularity outside of the standard RSS 1.0 modules. At present,
the standard modules Dublin Core (dc) and Syndication (syn) are predefined
for your convenience. The Taxonomy (taxo) module is also internally supported.
The modules are stored in the hash %{$obj->{'modules'}} where
B<$obj> is a reference to an XML::RSS object.
If you want to automatically add modules that the parser finds in
namespaces, set the $XML::RSS::AUTO_ADD variable to a true value. By
default the value is false. (N.B. AUTO_ADD only updates the
%{$obj->{'modules'}} hash. It does not provide the other benefits
of using add_module.)
=back
=head2 RSS 1.0 MODULES
XML-Namespace-based modularization affords RSS 1.0 compartmentalized
extensibility. The only modules that ship "in the box" with RSS 1.0
are Dublin Core (http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/dc/), Syndication
(http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/), and Taxonomy
(http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/taxonomy/). Consult the appropriate
module's documentation for further information.
Adding items from these modules in XML::RSS is as simple as adding other
attributes such as title, link, and description. The only difference
is the compartmentalization of their key/value paris in a second-level
hash.
$rss->add_item (title=>$title, link=>$link, dc=>{ subject=>$subject, creator=>$creator, date=>$date });
For elements of the Dublin Core module, use the key 'dc'. For elements
of the Syndication module, 'syn'. For elements of the Taxonomy module,
'taxo'. These are the prefixes used in the RSS XML document itself.
They are associated with appropriate URI-based namespaces:
syn: http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/
dc: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
taxo: http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/taxonomy/
The Dublin Core ('dc') hash keys may be point to an array
reference, which in turn will specify multiple such keys, and render them
one after the other. For example:
$rss->add_item (
title => $title,
link => $link,
dc => {
subject=> ["Jungle", "Desert", "Swamp"],
creator=>$creator,
date=>$date
},
);
Dublin Core elements may occur in channel, image, item(s), and textinput
-- albeit uncomming to find them under image and textinput. Syndication
elements are limited to the channel element. Taxonomy elements can occur
in the channel or item elements.
Access to module elements after parsing an RSS 1.0 document using
XML::RSS is via either the prefix or namespace URI for your convenience.
print $rss->{items}->[0]->{dc}->{subject};
or
print $rss->{items}->[0]->{'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'}->{subject};
XML::RSS also has support for "non-standard" RSS 1.0 modularization at
the channel, image, item, and textinput levels. Parsing an RSS document
grabs any elements of other namespaces which might appear. XML::RSS
also allows the inclusion of arbitrary namespaces and associated elements
when building RSS documents.
For example, to add elements of a made-up "My" module, first declare the
namespace by associating a prefix with a URI:
$rss->add_module(prefix=>'my', uri=>'http://purl.org/my/rss/module/');
Then proceed as usual:
$rss->add_item (title=>$title, link=>$link, my=>{ rating=>$rating });
You can also set the value of the module's prefix to an array reference
of C<<< { el => , val => } >>> hash-references, in which case duplicate
elements are possible:
$rss->add_item(title=>$title, link=>$link, my=> [
{el => "rating", value => $rating1, }
{el => "rating", value => $rating2, },
]
Non-standard namespaces are not, however, currently accessible via a simple
prefix; access them via their namespace URL like so:
print $rss->{items}->[0]->{'http://purl.org/my/rss/module/'}->{rating};
XML::RSS will continue to provide built-in support for standard RSS 1.0
modules as they appear.

and returns the resultant XML as text.
=head2 $rss->as_rss_1_0()
B<WARNING>: this function is not an API function and should not be called
directly. It is kept as is for backwards compatibility with legacy code. Use
the following code instead:

my $text = $rss->as_string();
This function renders the data in the object as an RSS version 1.0 feed,
and returns the resultant XML as text.
=head2 $rss->as_rss_2_0()
B<WARNING>: this function is not an API function and should not be called
directly. It is kept as is for backwards compatibility with legacy code. Use
