-----------------------------------------
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your insightful comments on this issue. I think I can summarize the
discussions on this issue to the following:
1. Folks are seeing limitations in the version of commons-feedparser (0.6) used
by parse-rss in the Nutch trunk
2. There are alternatives to feedparser in the form of ROME, informa, abdera,
etc.
3. There is a newer, maintained version of Kevin Burton's feed parser that
alleviates some of the limitations of feedparser (0.6) used in the Nutch trunk
4. We shouldn't be developing our own feedparsing solution
I have been using ROME lately and it has a really nice feature:
Modules. With the necessary modules installed, ROME can extract iTunes
podcast, MediaRSS, etc. information from feeds. So it is also very
useful to build a video/audio search engine. I haven't looked into
feedparser in detail but it doesn't seem to have that. So ROME has as
big plus here for me.
Anyway, if the decision is to write an abstraction layer, I think
RSSChannel and RSSItem classes (with an extra metadata field) will
provide a good starting point.
Cheers,
Chris
