= BirdFeed - A dead simple RSS/Atom reader
BirdFeed is a well tested RSS parsing library that uses the
Nokogiri XML parser in an attempt to normalize the concept of an
Atom and RSS feed. We wrote this library to solve the problem of
consuming several different feed types for a moderation tool.
There are a few things that currently suck about BirdFeed. First,
we haven't used this code enough to iron out design flaws. Second,
there documentation is nil. I sacrificed documentation in favor
of spec tests because I was simply too short on time.
Abandon all hope ye who enter!
