What is a good way to normalize RSS feeds

By Jimmy Hopkin - Jun. 14, 2008

I am about to write some code to process RSS feeds. However, I am finding that I have to special case for the several different types of RSS standards that our there (Atom 1.0, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, etc.). There are some libraries out there, and I was wondering what people had to say about which ones might make sense. I'm open to writing this in Python, Java, PHP or Ruby.

    You should look into the feedparser library for Python. http://www.feedparser.org. It does all the normalization for you.
