Dependency (Maven)

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.rometools</groupId>
        <artifactId>rome</artifactId>
        <version>${rome.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Parse a feed

String url = "https://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag?tagnames=rome";
SyndFeed feed = new SyndFeedInput().build(new XmlReader(new URL(url)));

System.out.println(feed.getTitle());

Beware! The URL variant used in this example is deprecated and works only for simplest cases. Please consider using a separate library for fetching the feed (see examples in #276).

Generate a feed

SyndFeed feed = new SyndFeedImpl();
feed.setFeedType("rss_2.0");
feed.setTitle("test-title");
feed.setDescription("test-description");
feed.setLink("https://example.org");

System.out.println(new SyndFeedOutput().outputString(feed));
