Dabbling in Rome

I wanted to read an RSS feed in java, and remembered using a library called Rome. Fortunately, it’s still around and not completely dead (that I can tell). You can find it here. An in the tradition of re-use, here is an article on how to use it.

public class RssReader {
    public static void main (String [] args ) throws IllegalArgumentException, FeedException, IOException {
        URL feedSource = new URL("http://techtrailblazer.wordpress.com/feed/rss/");
        SyndFeedInput input = new SyndFeedInput();
        SyndFeed feed = input.build(new XmlReader(feedSource));
        List<SyndEntry> entries = feed.getEntries();
        if (entries != null) {
            for ( SyndEntry entry : entries ) {
                System.out.println(entry.getTitle());
            }
        }
    }
}
