magpie rss demo

Magpie takes a naive, and inclusive approach. Absolutely non-validating, as long as the RSS feed is well formed, Magpie will cheerfully parse new, and never before seen tags in your RSS feeds.

This makes it very simple support the varied versions of RSS simply, but forces the consumer of a RSS feed to be cognizant of how it is structured.(at least if you want to do something fancy)

Magpie parses a RSS feed into a simple object, with 4 fields: channel, items, image, and textinput.

I found an online demo at scripps of the MagPie Rss parser, just fill in your url and press the "parse rss" button and it returns the entire structure and content of the feed. Then you can see what your rss feed actually looks like.
