All Roads Lead to ROME. ROME is a set of Atom/RSS Java utilities that make it
easy to work in Java with most syndication formats. Today it accepts all flavors of RSS
(0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0 and 2.0), Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0 feeds. Rome includes
a set of parsers and generators for the various flavors of feeds, as well as converters
to convert from one format to another. The parsers can give you back Java objects that
are either specific for the format you want to work with, or a generic normalized
SyndFeed object that lets you work on with the data without bothering about the
underlying format.
