I'm looking for an rss library I can integrate into an existing windows MFC/C++ application. Does anyone know of such a thing? Or am I not finding one because people tend to use one of the many XML libraries out there and just enhance them to be specific to rss feeds?

This guy wrote an app, not a stand-alone library - but it may work as a jumping-off point for what you need.

Windows RSS Platform (Microsoft Feed APIs)

The Windows RSS Platform is an API that enables applications to access and manipulate the Common Feed List, a collection of Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds to which the user has subscribed. Use the Windows RSS Platform in your applications to:

  • Subscribe to new feeds, and enumerate existing subscriptions.
  • Easily access properties of feeds (channels), feed items, and enclosures.
  • Manage and organize feeds into folders.
  • Listen for and respond to feed and feed folder events.
  • Check the status of the background Feed Download Engine, or modify settings.
  • Normalize the XML source of a feed.

The Windows RSS Platform is available with Windows Internet Explorer 7 on Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

FeedReader is a fast, thread-safe, extensible and platform-independent C++ library for parsing many kinds of web feeds.

Can you comment on how well your library builds under VisualStudio 2010? I've had a real hard time getting Xerces and Xalan to cooperate.

I didn't get the chance to build it with VS 2010 yet.I hope to get to it soon.
