SimplePie
=========
SimplePie is a very fast and easy-to-use class, written in PHP, that puts the
'simple' back into 'really simple syndication'. Flexible enough to suit
beginners and veterans alike, SimplePie is focused on [speed, ease of use,
compatibility and standards compliance][what_is].
[what_is]: http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/what_is_simplepie
Requirements
------------
* PHP 5.2.0 or newer
* libxml2 (certain 2.7.x releases are too buggy for words, and will crash)
* Either the iconv or mbstring extension
* cURL or fsockopen()
* PCRE support
If you're looking for PHP 4.x support, pull the "one-dot-two" branch, as that's
the last version to support PHP 4.x.
What comes in the package?
--------------------------
1. `library/` - SimplePie classes for use with the autoloader
2. `autoloader.php` - The SimplePie Autoloader if you want to use the separate
file version.
3. `README.markdown` - This document.
4. `LICENSE.txt` - A copy of the BSD license.
5. `compatibility_test/` - The SimplePie compatibility test that checks your
server for required settings.
6. `demo/` - A basic feed reader demo that shows off some of SimplePie's more
noticeable features.
7. `idn/` - A third-party library that SimplePie can optionally use to
understand Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
8. `build/` - Scripts related to generating pieces of SimplePie
9. `test/` - SimplePie's unit test suite.
### Where's `simplepie.inc`?
For SimplePie 1.3, we've split the classes into separate files to make it easier
to maintain and use.
If you'd like a single monolithic file, you can run `php build/compile.php` to
generate `SimplePie.compiled.php`, or grab a copy from
[dev.simplepie.org][dev_compiled] (this is kept up-to-date with the latest
code from Git).
[dev_compiled]: http://dev.simplepie.org/SimplePie.compiled.php
To start the demo
-----------------
1. Upload this package to your webserver.
2. Make sure that the cache folder inside of the demo folder is server-writable.
3. Navigate your browser to the demo folder.
