feedparser is a Python library that parses RSS, Atom, RDF, CDF, and JSON feeds into a uniform data structure. It is the de facto standard universal feed parser for Python, tolerant of malformed real-world feeds.
Use cases
- parse rss feeds in python
- read atom feeds from a url
- aggregate news feeds into an app
- extract entries and metadata from syndication feeds
- handle malformed rss feeds gracefully
- parse json feed format
When to choose
- you need to consume RSS/Atom/JSON feeds in Python with one consistent API
- feeds may be malformed or come in many versions and formats
- you want a mature, well-tested, dependency-light parser
When to avoid
- you need to generate or write feeds rather than parse them
- you need a full HTML scraping or general XML processing tool
- you are not working in Python
