Introduction
RSSAtomKit is a powerful library that allows developers to parse and generate RSS and Atom feeds with ease. It provides a set of classes and APIs for working with feed data in various formats. With RSSAtomKit, you can easily integrate feed handling capabilities into your iOS or macOS applications.
Features
Feed Parsing
RSSAtomKit enables you to effortlessly parse RSS and Atom feeds. It offers intuitive methods to retrieve the feed metadata, including title, description, and publication date. Additionally, the library supports retrieving individual feed items and their attributes, such as title, content, author, and more.
Feed Generation
With RSSAtomKit, you can easily create RSS and Atom feeds from scratch. The library provides convenient methods to construct feed structures and populate them with items, titles, contents, and other necessary details. By utilizing the feed generation functionality, you can seamlessly generate feeds for your applications or websites.
Feed Validation
RSSAtomKit includes built-in features for validating RSS and Atom feeds. It ensures that the generated or parsed feeds adhere to the respective specifications. This validation feature helps in preventing common feed-related issues and guarantees the compatibility and correctness of the feeds.

Usage
Getting started with RSSAtomKit is straightforward. The following steps outline the key aspects of using the library:
Parsing Feeds
To parse a feed, use the following code:
import RSSAtomKit
let feedData: Data = // provide the feed data
let parser = FeedParser(data: feedData)
let result = parser.parse()
switch result {
case .success(let feed):
// handle feed parsing success and access feed properties
case .failure(let error):
// handle feed parsing error
}
Generating Feeds
To generate a feed, use the following code:
import RSSAtomKit
let feed = Feed(title: "My Feed", link: "https://example.com")
// add feed items, properties, etc.
let generator = FeedGenerator(feed: feed)
let result = generator.generate()
switch result {
case .success(let generatedFeed):
// handle feed generation success and access generatedFeed data
case .failure(let error):
// handle feed generation error
}
