<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
                                           xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"

                                           xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

I interested to read some tage from <item> tag. How to that with rss rome library? They sugest:

import com.rometools.rome.feed.synd.SyndFeed;
import com.rometools.rome.io.FeedException;
import com.rometools.rome.io.SyndFeedInput;
import com.rometools.rome.io.XmlReader;

        // fetch data from URL
    SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();
    SyndFeed feed = null;
    BufferedReader reader; // erader readed from http response body
    feed = input.build(reader);

But feed object does not have any API to get items collection. (or this collection is placed so deep...)

Any work arounds?

P.S. yes I can parse this via any xml (Jaxb?) parser or event with regexp or xpath. But the question is about rome library solution.

Answer 1

At Rome v1.9.0 API documentation of com.rometools.rome.feed.synd.SyndFeed there is a method to get entries/items: List<SyndEntry> getEntries();
