Exactly yes the project name refers The Matrix Resurrections. Oldies but Goldies. Back to the RSS.
Rss is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. Resurrections-rss is a very easy-peasy Java project for creating RSS-2.0 feeds. This project code contains required mandatory and some optional rss elements. You are free to extend this. One more thing and biggest advantages is that Support CDATA and Plain Text.
Firstly I have to say that the best project about creating Rss feed is Rome. Literally they did a great job. Congratulations to the whole contributors. Just one more improvement that we needed. Just CDATA. Sorry but Rome not support that :(
If your output content is HTML, CDATA output more readable. (Encoded format is not preferable). Some News Editors, checks the Rss News output manually, selects and decides item. So some customers can expect to see CDATA output.
- Works on Java version 8 or later.
- Elements support Plain Text and CDATA format. You can set your encoded data or you can set them as CDATA.
- jackson XML data format
- Lombok keeps code clean and easy to use Builder Pattern
- Easy and Peasy development
- Simple and easy to extend for optional elements if needed. Just add fields to entity classes.
