I'd like to get a release of ROME 2 and ROME Propono out and into Maven Central.

1. Does anybody have any additional fixes or features that they would like to get into ROME 2?
2. Are there any reasons that we should not make a release now?

Hi everyone!

If you're interested in the future of Rome, please fill out (and share) this google from. If you don't have a google account, or don't like forms, feel free to write your thoughts in the comment section below.

The text below is a copy-paste from the form.

I would like to initiate development of Rome 2.

With recent announcements of JSON Feed and new Itunes RSS tags Rome starts lagging behind. While some modifications are relatively easy to implement, other are not at all. On top of that the Rome codebase is ancient and does not particularly boost productivity.

This is why I would like to suggest a complete rewrite. There is nothing advanced in what the current code does. I believe it can be easily replicated, improved and extended.

Here is a random list of things I would like to see in the new version:

• Java 8
• Better API (something like Rome.minimal().readUrl("..."), see more in this gist)
• Android support (as in we know it works, not just assume)
• Drop support for old standards (e.g. RSS 1.0)
• Get rid of rome.properties
• Expose raw strings for fields like date (in addition to the parsed value)
• Similarly expose parsing errors (also never fail completely because of invalid fields)
• Expose the old SyndFeed object (to ease transition)
• Single artifact (merge core rome and rome-modules)
• Single maven dependency: slf4j-api
• Code generation (stop writing getters and setters by hand)
• Immutability and builders

If you agree, disagree or have other ideas or concerns, please fill out the form or leave a comment.

@PatrickGotthard and @imk already questioned some of my ideas. To reach an agreement I'm going to hold a public discussion (in form of github issues) on each controversial topic.

Should the CDATA sections not be escaped? The following code results otherwise:

    SyndFeed feed = new SyndFeedImpl();
    feed.setFeedType("rss_2.0");
    feed.setTitle("title");
    feed.setLink("http://localhost/feed");
    feed.setDescription("description");

    SyndEntry entry = new SyndEntryImpl();
    entry.setTitle("entry title");
    entry.setUri("http://localhost/feed/item1");
    entry.setLink("<![CDATA[http://localhost/feed/item1]]>");

    SyndContent entryContent = new SyndContentImpl();
    entryContent.setValue("<![CDATA[<p>test</p><p>test</p>]]>");
    entry.getContents().add(entryContent);
    feed.getEntries().add(entry);

    SyndFeedOutput output = new SyndFeedOutput();
    System.out.println(output.outputString(feed));

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>title</title>
    <link>http://localhost/feed</link>
    <description>description</description>
    <item>
      <title>entry title</title>
      <link>&lt;![CDATA[http://localhost/feed/item1]]&gt;</link>
      <content:encoded>&lt;![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;]]&gt;</content:encoded>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">http://localhost/feed/item1</guid>
    </item>
  </channel>
</rss>

I've tried Rome versions 1.0 and 1.5.1 but the results are similar. I've also tried different modes (xml, html) for content. Am I missing some setting here?

=========================================

I have been using your iTunes module to develop a podcast. There
are a few fields I would like to use though that aren't present, at the
Entry level. These are the "image" tag (A URL), the "order" tag (an
int), and the ability to set "explicit" to "clean" (makes iTunes display
a certain icon I guess). The following two tags would also be useful,
but not required: "complete" (Boolean), and "new-feed-url" (URL).
I'd be happy to makes these changes myself. I'm not
very familiar with contributing to projects, so let me know how best to
help.

Caused by: org.jdom2.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 116: At line 116, column 598: not well-formed (invalid token);

but i try other rss client not use rome is normal

Added tests for the NumberParser class.

I've created a tool that uses Randoop to generate tests and then prunes them using PIT as a measure of quality. So far it's been useful in understanding which classes need more tests in a repo and approaches on how to add Line and Mutation Coverage.

Thought I would start with one of the simpler classes to test and once I get this reviewed I can submit a few more PRs with tests for other classes as well!

Currently all ROME projects have their own repository. As a consequence:

• creating new releases is difficult, because every project has to be build seperately and in the correct order
• contributing to ROME is not as easy as it could be - you have to check out different repositories to develop for ROME
• using services like Travis CI is not possible due to snapshot dependencies that can't be resolved
• managing issues that affect multiple projects is difficult

I propose to combine all projects to solve this issues.

I don't know whether it's better to combine all projects in this repository because it has the most forks of all or in a completely new repository.

Before performing the migration we should merge as many pull requests as possible and reduce the numbers of branches to an absolutely minimum. In addition we should try to inform all users that have forked any of our projects.

What do you think @mishako @imk @snoopdave @farrukhnajmi?

=========================================

Hi,

I have rome and I'm trying to parse RSS:
http://www.miguiatv.com/rss/tve1.xml
But when I'm trying to get the Description field:
System.out.println("descripcion es ..." + ent.getDescription());

Eclipse gives me an error:
Could not find class '[Ljava.beans.PropertyDescriptor;', referenced from method com.sun.syndication.feed ....

The AVD gives me a FC.

Could you help me please?
Many thanks and sorry for my english!

Remotely related to #262.

While 2.0 categories are supported during writing since that ticket, it appears parsing still does not support them. That seems to be because the parsing method mostly delegates this to its 1.0 counterpart, where categories are not supported at all.

https://github.com/rometools/rome/blob/ac7d9c83b5123096e5d75260f2b1143c2134f9ed/rome-opml/src/main/java/com/rometools/opml/io/impl/OPML20Parser.java#L72-L90

I have created a patch for the changes needed in the iTunes module to support the latest RSS feed spec from Apple as defined in http://podcasts.apple.com/resources/spec/ApplePodcastsSpecUpdatesiOS11.pdf

Attached is the patch of my changes (I don't have permissions to push a pull-request). Add_new_Apple_Podcast_spec_support_per_their_latest_update_of_the_iOS_11_and_MacOS_High_Si.patch.zip

=========================================

The entry objects in a a SyndFeedImpl object (or subclass of this) populated
with the copyFrom method will not have their categories set from the originals.
I.e., "this.copyFrom(original); ((SyndEntry)
(this.getEntries().get(0))).getCategories());" will always return an empty list.

See more info here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration/issues/3900.

It looks like reflect-config.json must contain entry for the com.rometools.rome.feed.module.DCModuleImpl class and all entries listed in the com/rometools/rome/rome.properties. Including this rome.properties as an entry in the resource-config.json.

It might be also great to look into initialization some static properties at build time. Like SyndFeedImpl.CONVERTERS.
