Simplepie
December 1, 2006
I’ve been meaning to write about simplepie.org for awhile, but haven’t got around to it (mentioned in my podcast, thought). If you’re using PHP to do RSS parsing, use simplepie. It’s that easy of a decision to make right now. I did find a dissenting voice, claiming that simplepie was way slower than magpie - I didn’t find that to be the case. I will likely be converting pfblogs.com to use simplepie in the coming weeks, as it greatly simplifies RSS parsing, deals with timezones, differing RSS/Atom tags, and a host of other niceties that magpie doesn’t do.
