  • public class WireFeedOutput
    extends Object
    Generates an XML document (String, File, OutputStream, Writer, W3C DOM document or JDOM document) out of an WireFeed (RSS/Atom).

    It generates all flavors of RSS (0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0 and 2.0) and Atom 0.3 feeds. Generators are plugable (they must implement the ModuleParser interface).

      • outputString

        public String outputString​(WireFeed feed)
                            throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                   FeedException
        Creates a String with the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

        If the feed encoding is not NULL, it will be used in the XML prolog encoding attribute. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that if the String is written to a character stream the stream charset is the same as the feed encoding property.

        NOTE: This method delages to the 'Document WireFeedOutput#outputJDom(WireFeed)'.

        Parameters:
        feed - Abstract feed to create XML representation from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor.
        Returns:
        a String with the XML representation for the given WireFeed.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match.
        FeedException - thrown if the XML representation for the feed could not be created.
