rss2go

rss2go is a Go package designed to fetch and parse RSS feeds. It provides a simple API to request RSS data from a URL and unmarshals the XML content into Go structs.

Features

• Fetches RSS feeds via HTTP requests
• Parses and unmarshals RSS feed data from XML into Go structs
• Supports media content in RSS feed items
• Handles common RSS formats including Atom links
• Cleans up CDATA tags from the response

Installation

To use rss2go, you need to have Go installed. You can install the package with the following command:

go get github.com/gentildpinto/rss2go

Usage

Import the package in your Go project and call the Rss2Go function to fetch and parse an RSS feed:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/gentildpinto/rss2go"
)

func main() {
    feedUrl := "https://example.com/rss"
    feed, err := rss2go.Rss2Go(feedUrl)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error fetching feed: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Feed Title:", feed.Channel.Title)
    for _, item := range feed.Channel.Items {
        fmt.Printf("Title: %s\nLink: %s\n", item.Title, item.Link)
    }
}

Structs

The following Go structs are used to represent the structure of an RSS feed:

• Feed: The root RSS element.
• Channel: Contains metadata about the RSS feed.
• Item: Represents each entry in the feed.
• Image: Optional image metadata for the feed.
• MediaContent: Represents media content (if any) in an item.
• AtomLink: Used for Atom feed compatibility.
