RSS Parser

rss-parser is a lightweight JavaScript library designed to convert RSS (and Atom) XML feeds into easily consumable JavaScript objects. It supports both Node.js environments and modern web browsers (with bundlers or pre-built distributions). The current stable version is 3.13.0, indicating active maintenance and regular updates. Key differentiators include its flexibility with both callback and Promise-based APIs, robust TypeScript support allowing custom field definitions for type safety, and the ability to parse either directly from a URL or an XML string. It provides a standardized output format, mapping common feed elements and offering a `contentSnippet` for HTML-stripped content. A notable consideration for browser usage is the need for a CORS proxy due to browser security restrictions on cross-origin requests.
