java library for reading RSS and ATOM feeds

Question

I am looking for libraries which can read RSS / ATOM feeds in my J2EE application (based on JBoss Seam).

Is Rome the only application there for reading feeds?

I am assuming the Seam RSS integration is only for generating RSS feeds and not for reading feeds.

Even though it has been mentioned several times, I would suggest using Rome as well.

The Rome link points to an ads-only site. – Ярослав Рахматуллин Jan 18 '14 at 07:55

https://github.com/rometools/rome appears to be the new location (see also https://rometools.jira.com) – Michael Rush Jan 30 '14 at 18:46

Rome is a very mature, extremely well java-documented library and is still the de facto standard for this job.

It is but it is not straightforward to read media / images.. – ACV Mar 11 '23 at 14:52

For Atom it is Apache Abdera: http://abdera.apache.org/

I read somewhere that it is not possible to read RSS feeds via Abdera, since most of the feeds are only in RSS I would prefer a reader which is capable of reading both RSS / Atom feeds. I am looking for suggestions on what would someone do today, if they have to read ATOM / RSS feeds. I wouldn't prefer to use two different libraries for this purpose. – Sam May 03 '10 at 03:46

This project has been retired and should no longer be an option. – Sync Jan 25 '19 at 17:58

Yes. Eddie, and feed4j are other useful tools.

For RSS feed ROME only not an option. We have lot like that namely Feed4j, abdera etc. But in these ROME only most widely used.

Confere these links.

These are both thread safe and very fast.
