  20 DESCRIPTION
  21
  22         MapieRSS is an XML-based RSS parser in PHP.  It attempts to be "PHP-like",
  23         and simple to use.
  24
  25         Some features include:
  26
  27         * supports RSS 0.9 - 1.0, with limited RSS 2.0 support
  28         * supports namespaces, and modules, including mod_content and mod_event
  29         * open minded [1]
  30         * simple, functional interface, to object oriented backend parser
  31         * automatic caching of parsed RSS objects makes its easy to integrate
  32         * supports conditional GET with Last-Modified, and ETag
  33         * uses constants for easy override of default behaviour
  34         * heavily commented

  37 1. By open minded I mean Magpie will accept any tag it finds in good faith that
  38    it was supposed to be here.  For strict validation, look elsewhere.
