React Native RSS Parser NPM Package

React Native compatible package to parse RSS feeds

The package came out of another project instead of starting as a package idea. Once i needed to accept different RSS feeds in React Native, keeping the parser reusable made more sense than solving every feed inside the app.

Why I made it

While building a RSS/podcast app, i needed a nice way of parsing any rss in react native, so i created a package for it.

Challenges or lessons

RSS parsing

RSS looks simple until different feeds make slightly different choices. The useful lesson was making the parser handle those differences without tying it to only one app.
