61XML::Feed::Entry - Entry/item in a syndication feed
62
63=head1 SYNOPSIS
64
65 ## $feed is an XML::Feed object.
66 for my $entry ($feed->entries) {
67 print $entry->title, "\n", $entry->summary, "\n\n";
68 }
69
70=head1 DESCRIPTION
71
72I<XML::Feed::Entry> represents an entry/item in an I<XML::Feed> syndication
73feed.
74
75=head1 USAGE
76
973e1f9e 77=head2 XML::Feed::Entry->new($format)
78
79Creates a new I<XML::Feed::Entry> object in the format I<$format>, which
80should be either I<RSS> or I<Atom>.
81
82=head2 $entry->convert($format)
83
84Converts the I<XML::Feed::Entry> object into the I<$format> format, and
85returns the new object.
86
87=head2 $entry->title([ $title ])
0d5e38d1 88
89The title of the entry.
90
973e1f9e 91=head2 $entry->link([ $uri ])
0d5e38d1 92
93The permalink of the entry, in most cases, except in cases where it points
fe71566d 94instead to an offsite URI referenced in the entry.
0d5e38d1 95
973e1f9e 96=head2 $entry->content([ $content ])
0d5e38d1 97
a749d9b9 98Bn I<XML::Feed::Content> object representing the full entry body, or as
99much as is available in the feed.
0d5e38d1 100
101In RSS feeds, this method will look first for
102I<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded> and
103I<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#body> elements, then fall back to a
104I<E<lt>descriptionE<gt>> element.
105
973e1f9e 106=head2 $entry->summary([ $summary ])
0d5e38d1 107
a749d9b9 108An I<XML::Feed::Content> object representing a short summary of the entry.
109Possibly.
0d5e38d1 110
111Since RSS feeds do not have the idea of a summary separate from the entry
a749d9b9 112body, this may not always be what you want. If the entry contains both a
113I<E<lt>descriptionE<gt>> element B<and> another element typically used for
114the full content of the entry--either I<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/body>
115or I<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded>--we treat that as
116the summary. Otherwise, we assume that there isn't a summary, and return
117an I<XML::Feed::Content> object with an empty string in the I<body>.
0d5e38d1 118
973e1f9e 119=head2 $entry->category([ $category ])
0d5e38d1 120
121The category in which the entry was posted.
122
973e1f9e 123=head2 $entry->author([ $author ])
0d5e38d1 124
125The name or email address of the person who posted the entry.
126
973e1f9e 127=head2 $entry->id([ $id ])
0d5e38d1 128
129The unique ID of the entry.
130
973e1f9e 131=head2 $entry->issued([ $issued ])
0d5e38d1 132
133A I<DateTime> object representing the date and time at which the entry
134was posted.
135
973e1f9e 136If present, I<$issued> should be a I<DateTime> object.
137
138=head2 $entry->modified([ $modified ])
0d5e38d1 139
140A I<DateTime> object representing the last-modified date of the entry.
141
973e1f9e 142If present, I<$modified> should be a I<DateTime> object.
