 # rss2json
 
-My Rust tutorial
+rss2json converts rss xml feeds to a json format.
+
+## About
+
+This is my first Rust tutorial project, so surely not coded with all the best practices.
+
+Output format is a complete personnal choice, inspired by some formats I've seen when using other's api. 
+
+>It handles a *very* minimal subset and not pretends to fullfill industrial needs :)
+
+## Installation
+
+Setup Rust using rust-up, then run in a terminal:
+
+```bash
+cargo install  --git https://git.tetalab.org/Mutah/rss2json.git
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+Usage: rss2json.exe [OPTIONS] --input <INPUT>
+
+Options:
+  -i, --input <INPUT>
+  -o, --output <OUTPUT>  [default: ]
+  -p, --pretty
+  -h, --help             Print help
+  -V, --version          Print version
+```
+
+### Local file
+
+```bash
+rss2json -i some_downloaded_rss_file.xml
+```
+
+### Remote
+
+```bash
+rss2json -i https://git.tetalab.org/Mutah/rss2json.rss
+```
+
+## Output format
+
+Only translate a minimal subset of attributes (if available).
+
+```javascript
+{
+    "channel": {
+        "title": "",
+        "link": "",
