Recommendations: Easy To Use/Low Dependency C/C++ RSS Library

Question

Just like the title says. Anyone know of an RSS reading library for C/C++?

Ideally:

• Minimal/no outside non-standard dependencies
• Easy to use API
• Cross platform would be ideal, but I'm OK with Win* only if necessary.

I'd just rather not roll my own if necessary. :)

Answer 1

Any good XML parser should do the trick.

I have used expat before, and it is a fine XML parser that can also be used for RSS.
http://expat.sourceforge.net/

There is also Xerces for C++, but I have not used to before:
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/

Finally, the Code Project is awesome. I bet this library is easy to use as well:

Answer 2

I have used libxml earlier. Its fairly easy to use.

Answer 3

For a quite high-level view on RSS- and ATOM-feeds you could use libmrss.

Answer 4

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