FeedParser Test Suite - Now with OPML!

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

As a developer of an aggregator, I test against different types of exploits that users may experience. Up until now, I’ve been adding singular feeds by themselves. However, it’s always irritated me that there was never an OPML file to import them all at once.

Et viola. I wrote myself a simple PHP program to convert a list of URLs into an OPML file (the code’s free for any use, should you find a use for it) and used a list of URLs I had obtained by doing mass copies from the directory pages.

Enjoy :)

(As a side note, there are 3325 different test feeds.)

Note to self: Take a look at this site’s notes about aggregator design for future Lilina styles. Question for the author (if they read this): what exactly did you have to hack internally?

Hi. I live here to keep the peace. You can ignore me now :)
