I have a contact that is experiencing trouble with SAX when parsing RSS and Atom files. According to him, it's as if text coming from the Item elements is truncated at an apostrophe or sometimes an accented character. There seems to be a problem with encoding too. I've given SAX a try and I have some truncating taking place too but haven't been able to dig further. I'd appreciate some suggestions if someone out there has tackled this before. This is the code that's being used in the ContentHandler: public void characters( char[], int start, int end ) throws SAXException { // link = new String

what's the best RSS reader for .net out there? most efficient and easy to use the ones i found are really complicated http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.syndication.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc135976.aspx .net has a class to parse ATOM and RSS feeds. Check out the links. What are you trying to do? Can you give more information? Alternatively You can just remove the "Feed version" from the XML file and parse it as a normal XML file using xmlDocument class. Simon Forrest Have you looked at the System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace in .NET 3.5?

I have the following snippet of code: function getFeed($feed_url) { $content = file_get_contents($feed_url); $x = new SimpleXmlElement($content); echo "<ul>"; foreach($x->channel->item as $entry) { echo "<li><a href='$entry->link' title='$entry->title'>" . $entry->title .

In the actual feed the tag is listed as <content:encoded> but I can't get it to feed. Any suggestions? In <content:encoded> , content is the namespace and encoded is the tag name. You have to use

I've been using the Google Feed API to load RSS feeds, but it looks like Google has shut down the API. For instance, when I try to load the New York Times RSS feed at http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?v=1.0&num=1000&q=http%3A%2F%2Frss.nytimes.com%2Fservices%2Fxml%2Frss%2Fnyt%2FHomePage.xml , I get this response: {"responseData": null, "responseDetails": "This API is no longer available.", "responseStatus": 403} Are there any viable alternatives? Use Yahoo's YQL API : select * from xml where url = 'https://news.ycombinator.com/rss' You can request a JSONP feed by adding a
