Interface RSSGenerator

All Superinterfaces:
Initializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultRSSGenerator

public interface RSSGenerator
extends Initializable
The master class for generating different kinds of Feeds (including RSS1.0, 2.0 and Atom).

This class can produce quite a few different styles of feeds. The following modes are available:

  • wiki - All the changes to the given page are enumerated and announced as diffs.
  • full - Each page is only considered once. This produces a very RecentChanges-style feed, where each page is only listed once, even if it has changed multiple times.
  • blog - Each page change is assumed to be a blog entry, so no diffs are produced, but the page content is always completely in the entry in rendered HTML.
Since:
1.7.5.
