Publisher review:GrabNews is ASP code for 'grabbing' and displaying RDF / RSS / Atom syndicated feeds on your website. GrabNews is ASP code which will 'grab' RDF/RSS/Atom stndicated feeds from the web and display the news items on a web page.
It uses XSLT to transform the newsfeeds into HTML and stores the raw RDF/RSS in a database.
It features a basic add news links page to make it easier to add newsfeeds to it and checks the URL for the newsfeeds to see if they exist or not. It utilises the Microsoft XML parser to transform the newsfeed documents into HTML using XSLT, (Extensible Style Language Transformation)
The tool stores the 'grabbed' newsfeed in either an Access or MySQL database and will fetch a new newsfeed every hour. The newsfeeds are generally written in either RDF,(Resource Description Framework), or RSS, (RDF Site Summery), and the GrabNews XSLT stylesheet can convert either format into HTML RDF and RSS allows news websites to feature the headlines and links of their news stories in a single document allowing other sites to display these on their sites.
GrabNews 1.9 is a ASP.NET script for RSS and Feeds scripts design by Paul Millar.
It runs on following operating system: Windows.
