Bug#574976: ITP: php-onyxrss -- uses PHP's built-in XML extension to quickly and accurately parse ALL versions of RSS including 2.0
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Free, open source php parser that minimizes bandwidth usage.
Great programming and wonderfully documented!
Uses object oriented programming and PHP's built in XML extension to quickly and accurately parse ALL versions of RSS including 2.0.
Many other parsers use regular expressions to find specific data within files, and are thus are limited to specific versions of RSS and are non-extensible.
To keep the server load low, feeds to be parsed can be kept in a mySQL database on your own server with the format implied in the SQL statement.
Pages will be served up without any server-side processing, and a cron job and be set up to call your page with the PHP code in it at desired intervals.
All parsed results can be exported to an external file, so the parser doesn't have to get called everytime someone calls the page.
Requires PHP's built-in XML extension available by default on all recent versions of PHP.
This package is required to fully debianize serendipity.
Having this package available would be part of closing #541740.

This is an older library but it seems to be still in use here and there.
