rss2json

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, and clearly useless.

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 rustup and set channels to nigthly.

Then run in a terminal:

cargo install  --git https://git.tetalab.org/Mutah/rss2json.git

Usage

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

rss2json -i some_downloaded_rss_file.xml

Remote

rss2json -i https://git.tetalab.org/Mutah/rss2json.rss

Output format

Only translate a minimal subset of attributes (if available).
