Description :
A mature framework and plugin for RSS and Atom feeds.


Wordpress plugin for SimplePie: a super-fast, easy-to-use RSS and Atom parser. This product is significantly more mature than nearly all other feed parsing plugins.

Major features:
* RSS 0.9x, 1.0, and 2.0
* Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0
* A handful of namespaces including Dublin Core
* Function names that focus on the data you want to grab, regardless of the feed type
* Serialized caching system
* One-click subscribing to several online aggregators
* One-click bookmarking to several social bookmarking sites
* Embedded (or non-embedded — your choice) feed enclosures (Podcasting, Videocasting)
* Ultra-liberal Feed Locator (Auto-Discovery on crack)
* Image hotlink bypassing (just like the desktop aggregators)
* Support for 98 character sets
* Support for PHP 4.3.0+, 5.0.3+
* Reasonable support for non-well-formed feeds
* Automatically strips potentially dangerous tags and attributes
* Limited support for ad stripping from feeds.
* Plugin for Wordpress
* Plugin for Textpattern
* Extension for MediaWiki

The plugin for Wordpress simply makes one easy-to-use function available for displaying feeds. However, once SimplePie is installed, you have access to any and all functionality that SimplePie has to offer.

Easily rivals MagpieRSS, the current leader in RSS parsing for PHP.
