About:
Libmrss is a C library designed for parsing and generating RSS and Atom feeds. It provides a straightforward API for developers to easily read feed data and create syndication content within their applications. Its main value proposition is offering a lightweight and simple solution for integrating web feed functionality into C-based projects.

Key Features:

Supports RSS 0.9x, 1.0, and 2.0 formats
Includes Atom feed parsing capabilities
Simple C API for easy integration
Lightweight and dependency-free

Use Cases:

Building custom RSS readers or aggregators in C
Adding feed generation to a C/C++ web application
Parsing news feeds for data extraction or monitoring tools

Alternatives:

libxml2 – More powerful and comprehensive XML toolkit, but requires more setup for RSS parsing than Libmrss.
RSS Guard – A full-featured desktop RSS reader application, not a library for developers.
