Why arent RSS feeds like this?

those arent rss feeds, those are dumps, big difference

what fris said plus you can easily convert dumps to rsssss

Yeah no shit, but what do RSS feeds have to offer over the easy use and flexibility of a dump?

That sure is a simple line of text.
It reminds me of the "add mass trades" feature in http://www.proton-tm.com script.

Same reason HTML has structure... It's not hard to read an rss feed...

dump offers no flexibility, the format is predefined... you don't have the same problem with an XML feed... XML is just a better more robust way of doing things...

Anyone who has made a scraper would agree a dump style rss would be as flexible and easy to use as it can get.

HTML is formatted because you are using tags to style a page for a surfer to browse, there doesnt need to be any styling or formatting for something like RSS since its just a computer gathering information on your latest posts and a dump style would be a lot easier for a notice to parse and use as he pleases.

Code:

</video>



</videos>

Also, how hard is doing this?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
//Load the rssparse
  $this->load->library('RSSParser', array('url' => 'http://link.to/rss.xml', 'life' => 2));
  //Get six items from the feed
  $data = $this->rssparser->getFeed(6);

  foreach ($data as $item) :
    // do stuff with $item['title'], $item['description'], etc.
  endforeach;  
?>
