How can I create a Yahoo Pipe to convert Json into RSS

I'd like to convert JSON to RSS and Yahoo Pipes is the best web service I can think of for this purpose. I even found a pipe that unfortunately didn't work and only returned a null result.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=Qvdm_tq_3RGbo7Wt1JzWFw

The URL I was trying to pass through it (as a test) is this one:

http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/json

Ideally passing it through the pipe would return this format:

http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss

It's not perfect, but here's a start:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=e5ad36b6c4651a5b533ef39f5009c6a5

The JSON of each item looks like this, for example:

{
    "a": "sentur332", 
    "d": "http://www.8445restore.com Every year, millions of properties all over the world suffer from the threat and destruction related to water damage to the house. Get a pro to do your water restoration project. http://feliked816.livejournal.com/1350.html", 
    "n": "", 
    "u": "http://icio.us/+ac2772f88bd79", 
    "t": [
        ""
    ], 
    "dt": "2014-12-23T05:17:55Z"
}

To convert it to RSS using Yahoo! Pipes:

  • Use Fetch Data component to fetch the JSON content:
  • Use Create RSS to map the JSON values to RSS fields
    • Title comes from d in the JSON, so use item.d
    • Author comes from a in the JSON, so use item.a
    • Publishing date comes from dt in the JSON, so use item.dt
    • Link comes from u in the JSON, so use item.u
