FeedTools: Parsing feeds in Rails

How to parse RSS and ATOM feeds in Ruby in agile way?
FeedTools is a simple Ruby library for handling rss, atom, and cdf parsing, generation, and translation as well as caching.
It attempts to adhere to Postel’s law: i.e. a liberal parsing and conservative generation policy.
It’s ideal for parsing RSS feeds in Ruby on Rails applications and equally useful in just simple scripts.
FeedTools can also create new feeds for you in only a few lines of code.
