ATOM support

[meh106]

Some sites provide feeds in ATOM - it would be great if you could support this (as well as RSS) - for example, http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/page/feeds.htm

Hello,

Yes, ATOM support should be easy to implement. After all, it's a standard that is more 'nailed-down' and standardized than the 'multi-faceted' RSS.

Thanks for the recommendation,
Ben

Can I suggest that you also take a look at the Atom Publishing Protocol [0] for delivering collections and a set or standardized interaction patterns? It's used by Google Base[1], in some of the SUN REST code [2] and there is a commercial-friendly Apache 2.0 licensed implementation available [3] and a useful how-to article at [4,5].

Thanks for the links, oisin. ATOM publishing has a lot of really great possibilities for pushing data as well as receiving it; particularly for structured data. We've got this on our radar and would love to implement this protocol within Strata.

Thanks for the idea!

Hello,

I'm pleased to let you know that we have just added ATOM support. It'll be included in the next beta, which is coming out soon.

All the best,
Ben
