What is SimplePie RSS
SimplePie RSS is a very nicely written php program that parses RSS and Atom syndication feeds. Currently you can parse RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0 right up to the RSS 2.0 format, and it supports Atom in version 0.3 and 1.0. Once you have SimplePie installed you will find that the developers built in support for some of the most common feed services including Bloglines, del.icio.us, Digg, Google Reader, Technorati and My Yahoo. SimplePie RSS is developed as open source software and released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, which means you can freely download it and use it on your websites for free. It has been tested on PHP 4.3, 4.4 and PHP 5.0.
SimplePie is great to use if you have a website and would like to have fresh updated content. Just download the program from simplepie and install it on your web server and then add the code to your web page and the program does the rest.
