Module: RSS::RSS09

Overview

RSS 0.9 support

RSS has three different versions. This module contains support for version 0.9.1.

Producing RSS 0.9

Producing our own RSS feeds is easy as well. Let’s make a very basic feed:

require "rss"

rss = RSS::Maker.make("0.91") do |maker|
  maker.channel.language = "en"
  maker.channel.author = "matz"
  maker.channel.updated = Time.now.to_s
  maker.channel.link = "http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/feeds/news.rss"
  maker.channel.title = "Example Feed"
  maker.channel.description = "A longer description of my feed."
  maker.image.url = "http://www.ruby-lang.org/images/logo.gif"
  maker.image.title = "An image"
  maker.items.new_item do |item|
    item.link = "http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2010/12/25/ruby-1-9-2-p136-is-released/"
    item.title = "Ruby 1.9.2-p136 is released"
    item.updated = Time.now.to_s
  end
end

puts rss

As you can see, this is a very Builder-like DSL. This code will spit out an RSS 0.9 feed with one item. If we needed a second item, we’d make another block with maker.items.new_item and build a second one.
