71 XML::Feed::Entry - Entry/item in a syndication feed
75 ## $feed is an XML::Feed object.
76 for my $entry ($feed->entries) {
77 print $entry->title, "\n", $entry->summary, "\n\n";
82 I<XML::Feed::Entry> represents an entry/item in an I<XML::Feed> syndication
87 =head2 XML::Feed::Entry->new($format)
89 Creates a new I<XML::Feed::Entry> object in the format I<$format>, which
90 should be either I<RSS> or I<Atom>.
92 =head2 $entry->convert($format)
94 Converts the I<XML::Feed::Entry> object into the I<$format> format, and
95 returns the new object.
97 =head2 $entry->title([ $title ])
99 The title of the entry.
101 =head2 $entry->base([ $base ])
103 The url base of the entry.
105 =head2 $entry->link([ $uri ])
107 The permalink of the entry, in most cases, except in cases where it points
108 instead to an offsite URI referenced in the entry.
110 =head2 $entry->content([ $content ])
112 Bn I<XML::Feed::Content> object representing the full entry body, or as
113 much as is available in the feed.
115 In RSS feeds, this method will look first for
116 I<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded> and
117 I<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml#body> elements, then fall back to a
118 I<E<lt>descriptionE<gt>> element.
120 =head2 $entry->summary([ $summary ])
122 An I<XML::Feed::Content> object representing a short summary of the entry.
125 Since RSS feeds do not have the idea of a summary separate from the entry
126 body, this may not always be what you want. If the entry contains both a
127 I<E<lt>descriptionE<gt>> element B<and> another element typically used for
128 the full content of the entry--either I<http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/body>
129 or I<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/#encoded>--we treat that as
130 the summary. Otherwise, we assume that there isn't a summary, and return
131 an I<XML::Feed::Content> object with an empty string in the I<body>.
133 =head2 $entry->category([ $category ])
135 The category in which the entry was posted.
137 Returns a list of categories if called in array context or the first
138 category if called in scalar context.
140 B<WARNING> It's possible this API might change to have an
141 I<add_category> instead.
143 =head2 $entry->tags([ $tag ])
145 A synonym for I<category>;
147 =head2 $entry->author([ $author ])
149 The name or email address of the person who posted the entry.
151 =head2 $entry->id([ $id ])
153 The unique ID of the entry.
155 =head2 $entry->issued([ $issued ])
157 A I<DateTime> object representing the date and time at which the entry
160 If present, I<$issued> should be a I<DateTime> object.
162 =head2 $entry->modified([ $modified ])
164 A I<DateTime> object representing the last-modified date of the entry.
166 If present, I<$modified> should be a I<DateTime> object.
170 Take an entry in its native format and turn it into an I<XML::Feed::Entry> object.
172 =head2 $entry->unwrap
174 Take an I<XML::Feed::Entry> object and turn it into its native format.
