Parsing feeds

Some sites don't offer an API, but do have RSS feeds to their data.

This information can offcourse be included in applications. 

While it's possible to parse the RSS feeds on the client directly, it can be usefull to add an intermediate server, to handle the feeds.

Such a service is easy to build youself, but hosted versions also exist. For example Google Ajaxfeeds can supply feeds as JSON (and handles the caching, different feed formats etc).  Getting a JSON feed from an RSS feed is described at

http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/#fonje 

Another feed parsing API is SimplePie Live:

http://live.simplepie.org/

A sample request is: 

http://live.simplepie.org/app/0.5/api.js?simpleResponse=false&onSuccess=&onFailure=&feedUrl=http%3A%2F%2Frss.news.yahoo.com%2Frss%2Ftopstories&guid=callback

This returns a feed in JSON, which will be easier to parse than the full XML for a feed.
