DESCRIPTION

Feed::Data is a frontend for building dynamic data feeds.

Methods

parse

Populates the feed Attribute, this is an Array of Feed::Data::Object 's

You can currently build Feeds by parsing xml (RSS, ATOM), JSON, CSV, plain text using key values seperated by a colon HTML via Meta Tags (twitter, opengraph) or table markup.

URI
        # any rss/atom feed or a web page that contains og or twitter markup
        $feed->parse( 'http://examples.com/feed.xml' );
File
        $feed->parse( 'path/to/feed.json' );
Raw
        $feed->parse( 'qq{<?xml version="1.0"><feed> .... </feed>} );

all

returns all elements in the current feed

        $feed->all

count

returns the count of the current data feed

        $feed->count

get

accepts an index and returns an Feed::Data::Object from feed by its Array index

        $feed->get($index)

pop

pop the last Feed::Data::Object from the current feed

        $feed->pop;

delete

accepts an index and deletes the relevant Feed::Data::Object based on its Array index

        $feed->delete($index);

insert

        $feed->insert($record)

is_empty

returns true if Feed::Data is empty.
