Syndication formats are a simple concept and not too hard to generate if you know what you're doing, but they are *hard* to parse since there is so much invalid crap out there in the wild. Feed Parser goes through great pains trying to extract data from malformed feeds, and it does so by applying many (hacky) heuristics. That said, rss-glib is probably useful if you want to integrate RSS functionality to handle reasonably well-formed feeds into your GLib application. — Wouter (yes, I have quite some experience with this)
