qrss

An API Class to parse the RSS feed into json with cache option.

Getting Start

Grab the QRss class and use require it in your php file.

require 'src/QRss.php';

// To fetch an RSS feed as json use
(new Qrss('https://news.google.com/?output=rss'))->json();

// For fresh copy you can use fresh() which will ignore cache
(new Qrss('https://news.google.com/?output=rss'))->fresh()->json()

// Get the feed ignoring validation adding novalidate()
(new QRss('https://en.blog.wordpress.com/feed/'))->novalidate()->json();

// There is also an option to get data in plain text using text() instead of json()
(new Qrss('https://news.google.com/?output=rss'))->text();

Override Parser

You can also extend the parse method to customize the output.

class MyQrss extends QRss {

     protected function parse($xml)
     {
         // you have all the xml elements as SimpleXMLElement object
         // parse it however you want, return the array from this
          return [
              'title' => (string) $xml->channel->title
          ];
      }
 }

 (new MyQrss('https://news.google.com/?output=rss'))->json();
