## What it is
gofeed is a Go library for parsing RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds into a unified feed model. It handles malformed feeds gracefully and supports popular extensions like Dublin Core and iTunes.

## Use cases
- parse rss feeds in go
- read atom feeds from a url
- parse  feed 1.1
- handle broken or invalid xml feeds
- extract itunes podcast metadata from feeds
- build a feed reader or aggregator in go

## When to choose
- you need to parse multiple feed formats with one unified model
- you deal with real-world feeds that are often malformed
- you need access to extension elements like Dublin Core or iTunes tags

## When to avoid
- you need to generate or write feeds rather than parse them
- you only need one specific feed format and want a minimal dependency
- your project is not written in Go

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser
- domain: parsers, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: rss, atom, -feed, feed-parser, syndication
