I am searching an RSS parser written in PHP. The problem is not that I cannot find one. The problem is that there are too many and it's hard to decide which one to use (especially when I have no experience with them and to try them is too time consuming).
Can anybody recommend me a "good" RSS parser?
The following requirements are important to me (given in order of importance):
Really Simple Syndication is used to publish often updated information from website like audio, video, images, etc. We can integrate RSS feeds to a website by using Ajax and php.
PHP Parser is a library that takes a source code written in PHP, passes it through a lexical analyzer, and creates its respective syntax tree. This is very useful for static code analysis, where we want to check our own code not only for syntactic errors but also for satisfying certain quality criteria.
My defacto answer will be "have you tried SimplePie?", it's a very good XML parser but you'll have to have a look at their demo to see how it handles broken feeds :-)
In addition to SimplePie already mentioned, there is Zend_Feed (which can be used standalone) and since this is XML anyway, you can also use any of the native XML extensions, like DOM or XMLReader.
