RSS data-processing object

摘要

Various embodiments utilize a special object referred to as an rsshttp object to acquire an RSS feed, process the feed and expose an object model to a web page or application. In at least some embodiments, the rsshttp object can parse through the feed's associated RSS data, normalize the feed data to a standard format, sanitize the feed data if necessary, and then present a standardized object model for interaction with web pages and applications.

主权项

1. One or more computer-readable memories implemented at least partially by hardware and storing executable instructions that, when executed by a client device, cause the client device to perform operations including:
receiving, using an rsshttp object at the client device, a request for a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed; requesting from an associated RSS source feed data associated with the RSS feed by the rsshttp object utilizing an xmlhttp object to access Extensible Markup Language (XML) data associated with the RSS feed; in response to the requesting, obtaining by the rsshttp object at the client computer XML elements from the XML data associated with the RSS feed; building a normalized object model at the client computer to normalize a format of the feed data to a standard feed format; and exposing the normalized object model via an interface to entities that consume RSS data to enable the entities to interact with the feed data without having to understand the XML data that describes the RSS feed.
