Description: RSS/XML Reader by FreePlay<br><br>After a couple hours of learning pattern matching, table functions, and strings functions in Lua, I've resolved a couple issues with the old version.<br>First, self-closing tags were not supported in the original LuaXML. This means that any RSS feed containing "", "<link/>", or any such tag would cause the parser to spit out errors. I resolved this by tinkering a bit :P<br><br>Second, the old version simply gave information about the top-level elements. I made the parser spit out various information into a log file, "parse.log" .<br><br>As before, there's not really any documentation yet; it's still alpha software, after all.<br><br>I see a big future for this progam. It's already in a state where I could parse an RSS feed and display its contents; that's really simple, with the XML framework I have.<br><br>Next step: fix the downloading/connection issues!<br><br>Then, I can combine the RSS and XML programs into one, have it read in a list of RSS feeds from a config file, download them, and display them / save them in text format!<br><br>I've never really done much in the way of graphical programming before. I know it's not difficult, but it's something I have little experience with. Someone more experienced than me could probably build a web browser off of my preliminary work.<br><br>It's all done for you already; you can parse an HTML file into a Lua table, with entries for each element, their arguments, and their labels. I've tested this; my school web page (here) is properly-formed XHTML, and the parser has no trouble parsing it.<br><br>The biggest flaw so far is that the parser is completely inflexible. It will only parse a properly-formed XML document. One single glitch, and the whole thing goes up in smoke. If I can find a more flexible XML base for this project, I'll be happy, but this will have to do for now.
