I am new to Squeak, but I am trying to find some code to implement an RSS reader, as I haven't found any readers out there for Squeak.
Can anyone help me out?
Regards, Steve

BottomFeeder is a popular RSS reader written in VisualWorks Smalltalk. It doesn't look like it's ever been ported to Squeak, but the source code is available and may prove useful:

You basically need to fetch feeds over HTTP, parse the XML, and display it. The network access support is in the image, to parse XML you should install "YAXO" from Squeakmap, and then build an interface, perhaps using the ToolBuilder UI framework (http:// www.squeaksource.com/ToolBuilder.html).

Is Yaxo enough to parse and/or query XML files ? Are XPath and XMLTransformer (on squeakmap too) interesting and complementary to Yaxo ?
Thanks

Yaxo is pretty much a SAX parser (see http://www.saxproject.org/), you can provide your own callbacks or let it build a generic DOM. So, yes, it should be enough.

I don't know, haven't used them.
