RSS

Since Camel 2.1

The RSS component ships with an RSS dataformat that can be used to convert between String (as XML) and ROME RSS model objects.

marshal = from ROME SyndFeed to XML String
unmarshal = from XML String to ROME SyndFeed

A route using this would look something like this:

The purpose of this feature is to make it possible to use Camel’s lovely built-in expressions for manipulating RSS messages. As shown below, an XPath expression can be used to filter the RSS message:

Query parameters

If the URL for the RSS feed uses query parameters, this component will understand them as well, for example if the feed uses alt=rss, then you can for example do from("rss:http://someserver.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss&splitEntries=false&delay=1000").to("bean:rss");

Options

The RSS dataformat supports 1 options, which are listed below.
