org.apache.abdera.parser
Interface NamedParser

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.abdera.util.NamedItem, Parser

public interface NamedParser
extends Parser, org.apache.abdera.util.NamedItem

Abdera's abstract parsing model allows developers to implement parsers capable of translating non-Atom formats into Abdera objects. For instance, a developer could create an RDF, RSS, JSON or hAtom microformat parser that automatically converted to Atom. Alternative parsers are made available via the ParserFactory interface.

   Parser parser = abdera.getParserFactory().getParser("json");
   Document<Feed> doc = parser.parse(...);
   
   Parser parser = abdera.getParserFactory().getParser("hatom");
   Document<Feed> doc = parser.parse(...);
