NAME
XML::Feed::Entry - Entry/item in a syndication feed

SYNOPSIS

    for my $entry ($feed->entries) {
        print $entry->title, "\n", $entry->summary, "\n\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION
XML::Feed::Entry represents an entry/item in an XML::Feed syndication feed.

USAGE

  XML::Feed::Entry->new($format)
Creates a new XML::Feed::Entry object in the format $format, which should be either RSS or Atom.

  $entry->convert($format)
Converts the XML::Feed::Entry object into the $format format, and returns the new object.

  $entry->title([ $title ])
The title of the entry.

  $entry->base([ $base ])
The url base of the entry.

  $entry->link([ $uri ])
The permalink of the entry, in most cases, except in cases where it points instead to an offsite URI referenced in the entry.

  $entry->content([ $content ])
An XML::Feed::Content object representing the full entry body, or as much as is available in the feed.

In RSS feeds, this method will look first for <http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded> and <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#body> elements, then fall back to a <description> element.

  $entry->summary([ $summary ])
An XML::Feed::Content object representing a short summary of the entry. Possibly.

Since RSS feeds do not have the idea of a summary separate from the entry body, this may not always be what you want. If the entry contains both a <description> element and another element typically used for the full content of the entry--either http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/body or <http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded>--we treat that as the summary. Otherwise, we assume that there isn't a summary, and return an XML::Feed::Content object with an empty string in the body.

  $entry->category([ $category ])
The category in which the entry was posted.

Returns a list of categories if called in array context or the first category if called in scalar context.

WARNING It's possible this API might change to have an add_category instead.

  $entry->tags([ $tag ])
A synonym (alias) for category;

  $entry->author([ $author ])
The name or email address of the person who posted the entry.

  $entry->id([ $id ])
The unique ID of the entry.

  $entry->issued([ $issued ])
A DateTime object representing the date and time at which the entry was posted.

If present, $issued should be a DateTime object.

  $entry->modified([ $modified ])
A DateTime object representing the last-modified date of the entry.

If present, $modified should be a DateTime object.

  $entry->wrap
Take an entry in its native format and turn it into an XML::Feed::Entry object.

  $entry->unwrap
Take an XML::Feed::Entry object and turn it into its native format.
