Erlang: Are there any Atompub (Atom Publishing Protocol) libraries available?

Question

Are there any Atompub (Atom Publishing Protocol) libraries available for Erlang?

question from someone who never used atom: what should an atom library do that an xml library in itself cannot? — Zed, Sep 16 '09 at 17:41

Shamelessly ... there are server libraries :

wrote a while back an atompub-pubsub bridge for ejabberd. In use here, it validates Tim Bray's APE.
and an atom entry validation code (still for ejabberd's XML format)

As for client libraries, unless I need full coverage, an adhoc ibrowse/xmerl_xpath combo should do the trick.

There are almost no RSS or Atom libraries for erlang. I contemplated writing some once but wasn't sufficiently motivated so I never did. For some reason erlang developers haven't felt the need to write one yet.

Probably because so far no app written in erlang has needed it. – rvirding Sep 16 '09 at 23:53
That's certainly the reason for my lack of motivation anyway :-) – Jeremy Wall Sep 16 '09 at 23:57
