SimplePie

SimplePie is a PHP library for parsing RSS and Atom feeds.

SimplePie is a mature and easy-to-use class for PHP developers who want to parse feeds and present them in your own project. It uses cURL for fetching files, so make sure your host can handle that before usage.

The single PHP include file is pretty huge (about 12000 lines), but you'll also have access to a vast number of methods for parsing all kinds of feeds.

From the SimplePie web site:

SimplePie is a very fast and easy-to-use class, written in PHP, that puts the 'simple' back into 'really simple syndication'. Flexible enough to suit beginners and veterans alike, SimplePie is focused on speed, ease of use, compatibility and standards compliance.

SimplePie 1.0 is licensed under the BSD license.
