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
