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.
