Method Detail

readOPML

public static java.util.List<FableComponent> readOPML(java.lang.String fileName)

Reads in an OPML file and returns a list of Feeds from that OPML file. For major errors (non-xml, non-opml, body missing etc), an EMPTY (not null) feed is returned. For feeds that are not valid, the feed is not added.

If there are multiple opml entries or body within opml entries, all entries are read. Duplicate feeds are all included.

There is NO loading of feeds or their articles.

Every single Feed has a UID of RSSManager.GenericUID.

Parameters:

fileName - The file name

Returns:

The list of Feeds

Requires:

fileName != null

                                java.lang.String fileName)

Writes a list of feeds to a file in OPML 1.0 format. All components that are NOT feeds are ignored.

Parameters:

f - The list of feeds to the file

fileName - The file to write to

Returns:

true if the OPML is successfully exported, false otherwise
