## What it is
A Node.js library for parsing RSS, Atom, and RDF syndication feeds as a streaming interface. It resolves relative URLs and correctly handles XML namespaces, including unusual non-default namespace feeds.

## Use cases
- parse rss feeds in node.js
- read atom feeds from a url
- build a feed reader or aggregator
- ingest podcast rss feeds
- normalize syndication feed metadata and items
- handle feeds with unusual xml namespaces

## When to choose
- you need robust, battle-tested RSS/Atom/RDF parsing in Node.js
- you want a streaming API that handles large feeds
- you need correct relative URL resolution and namespace handling

## When to avoid
- you need to generate or write feeds rather than parse them
- you are not on Node.js
- you need JSON Feed or other non-XML feed formats

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, web-scraping, http-client
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: rss, atom, rdf, feed-parsing, streaming, xml, nodejs
