About

NRss is an open source Microsoft .NET Framework / Mono class library for reading a RSS feed into a tree of objects mapped to elements in the RSS feed. For example, there's a Rss class encapsulating the feed, a RssChannel class encapsulating the <channel> element, a RssChannelItemCollection class containing the items in the channel and so on.

NRss is able to parse RSS versions 0.9x and 2.0. Support for modules is under development. RSS 1.0 support will be considered sometimes in the future.

NRss is a validating parser. Unlike other parsers, NRss will try to make sure that the XML file it reads is a valid RSS file conforming to the declared version number. Read more about validation here.

For more information about NRss see the project summary at SourceForge.net.

  Added support for TrackBack module, tests for Dublin Core and TrackBack. Also, I'm planning to move the validation code in a class, so that users can write their own validation or almost completely turn it off.

  The framework for module support is done. Support for Dublin Core is also done, but not very well tested. A new version will be released after more modules are added. Meanwhile NRss can be built from the CVS.
