Atomex is an ATOM 1.0 feed builder with a focus on RFC4287 compliance, security and extensibility. It is safe to use it with user content: everything is escaped by default. Built on top of xml_builder.

def deps do
[

]
endRequired field are always passed in new functions. There are however recommended fields that you
should not ignore. See Validating your feed below.
alias Atomex.{Feed, Entry}
def build_feed(comments) do
Feed.new("https://example.com", DateTime.utc_now, "My incredible feed")
|> Feed.author("John Doe", email: "[email protected]")
|> Feed.link("https://example.com/feed", rel: "self")
|> Feed.entries(Enum.map(comments, &get_entry/1))
|> Feed.build()
|> Atomex.generate_document()
end
defp get_entry(_comment = %{id, text, inserted_at, user}) do
Entry.new("https://example.com/comments/#{id}", inserted_at, "New comment by #{user.name}")
|> Entry.author(user.name, uri: "https://example.com/users/#{user.id}")
|> Entry.content("<h1>Content here will be properly escaped! Text: #{text}</h1>", type: "html")
|> Entry.build()
endTo avoid escaping, you can pass a tuple as value like this (be careful though, a user may break it with malicious content):
Entry.content(entry, {:cdata, "<h1>Amazing</h1>"}, type: "html")
# Render as => <content type="html"><![CDATA[<h1>Amazing</h1>]]></content>- You can specify custom schemas
Feed.build(feed, %{"xmlns:georss" => "http://www.georss.org/georss"})
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
# <rss version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss">
#...- And custom fields
Feed.new(...)
|> Feed.add_field(:custom_field, %{attribute: 42}, "Foobar")
|> Feed.build()
|> Atomex.generate_document()
# ...
# <custom_field attribute="42">Foobar</custom_field>For more complicated use cases, content can also be given a xml element directly. Use XmlBuilder to achieve that.
