SimplePie is a fast, easy-to-use PHP library for fetching, caching, and parsing RSS and Atom syndication feeds. It normalizes feed data across formats, handles character encoding, sanitizes content, and supports PSR-16 caching and PSR-18 HTTP clients.
Use cases
- parse RSS feeds in PHP
- read Atom feeds from a website
- build a feed reader or aggregator
- display latest blog posts from another site
- cache and fetch syndication feeds
- normalize RSS and Atom data structures
- extract enclosures and media from podcasts
When to choose
- you need to consume RSS/Atom feeds in a PHP application
- you want a battle-tested, standards-compliant feed parser with caching built in
- you need encoding handling and feed sanitization out of the box
When to avoid
- you need to generate or write feeds rather than parse them
- you are not working in PHP
- you need a full feed aggregator application rather than a parsing library
