=head1 NAME

XML::Feed - Syndication feed parser and auto-discovery

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use XML::Feed;
    my $feed = XML::Feed->parse(URI->new('http://example.com/atom.xml'))
        or die XML::Feed->errstr;
    print $feed->title, "\n";
    for my $entry ($feed->entries) {
    }

    ## Find all of the syndication feeds on a given page, using
    ## auto-discovery.
    my @feeds = XML::Feed->find_feeds('http://example.com/');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

I<XML::Feed> is a syndication feed parser for both RSS and Atom feeds. It
also implements feed auto-discovery for finding feeds, given a URI.

I<XML::Feed> supports the following syndication feed formats:

=over 4

=item * RSS 0.91

=item * RSS 1.0

=item * RSS 2.0

=item * Atom

=back

The goal of I<XML::Feed> is to provide a unified API for parsing and using
the various syndication formats. The different flavors of RSS and Atom
handle data in different ways: date handling; summaries and content;
escaping and quoting; etc. This module attempts to remove those differences
by providing a wrapper around the formats and the classes implementing
those formats (I<XML::RSS> and I<XML::Atom::Feed>). For example, dates are
handled differently in each of the above formats. To provide a unified API for
date handling, I<XML::Feed> converts all date formats transparently into
I<DateTime> objects, which it then returns to the caller.

=head1 USAGE

=head2 XML::Feed->new($format)

Creates a new empty I<XML::Feed> object using the format I<$format>.

=head2 XML::Feed->parse($stream)

Parses a syndication feed identified by I<$stream>. I<$stream> can be any
one of the following:

=over 4

=item * Scalar reference

A reference to string containing the XML body of the feed.

=item * Filehandle

An open filehandle from which the feed XML will be read.

=item * File name

The name of a file containing the feed XML.

=item * URI object

A URI from which the feed XML will be retrieved.

=back

=head2 XML::Feed->find_feeds($uri)

Given a URI I<$uri>, use auto-discovery to find all of the feeds linked
from that page (using I<E<lt>linkE<gt>> tags).

Returns a list of feed URIs.

=head2 $feed->convert($format)

Converts the I<XML::Feed> object into the I<$format> format, and returns
the new object.

=head2 $feed->splice($other_feed)

Splices in all of the entries from the feed I<$other_feed> into I<$feed>,
skipping posts that are already in I<$feed>.

=head2 $feed->format

Returns the format of the feed (C<Atom>, or some version of C<RSS>).

=head2 $feed->title([ $title ])

The title of the feed/channel.

=head2 $feed->link([ $uri ])

The permalink of the feed/channel.

=head2 $feed->tagline([ $tagline ])

The description or tagline of the feed/channel.

=head2 $feed->description([ $description ])

Alias for I<$feed-E<gt>tagline>.

=head2 $feed->author([ $author ])

The author of the feed/channel.

=head2 $feed->language([ $language ])

The language of the feed.

=head2 $feed->copyright([ $copyright ])

The copyright notice of the feed.

=head2 $feed->modified([ $modified ])

A I<DateTime> object representing the last-modified date of the feed.

If present, I<$modified> should be a I<DateTime> object.

=head2 $feed->generator([ $generator ])

The generator of the feed.

=head2 $feed->entries

A list of the entries/items in the feed. Returns an array containing
I<XML::Feed::Entry> objects.

=head2 $feed->add_entry($entry)

Adds an entry to the feed. I<$entry> should be an I<XML::Feed::Entry>
object in the correct format for the feed.

=head2 $feed->as_xml

Returns an XML representation of the feed, in the format determined by
the current format of the I<$feed> object.

=head1 PACKAGE VARIABLES

=over 4

=item C<$XML::Feed::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER>

If you want to use another RSS parser class than XML::RSS (default), you can
change the class by setting C<$PREFERRED_PARSER> variable in XML::Feed::RSS
package.

    $XML::Feed::RSS::PREFERRED_PARSER = "XML::RSS::LibXML";

B<Note:> this will only work for parsing feeds, not creating feeds.
