nsIFeedContainer

A shared base for feeds and items, which are pretty similar,
but they have some divergent attributes and require
different convenience methods.

Methods

normalize()

Syncs a container’s fields with its convenience attributes.

Attributes

id

Many feeds contain an ID distinct from their URI, and
entries have standard fields for this in all major formats.

fields

The fields found in the document. Common Atom
and RSS fields are normalized. This includes some namespaced
extensions such as dc:subject and content:encoded.
Consumers can avoid normalization by checking the feed type
and accessing specific fields.

Common namespaces are accessed using prefixes, like get(“dc:subject”);.
See nsIFeedResult::registerExtensionPrefix.

title

Sometimes there’s no title, or the title contains markup, so take
care in decoding the attribute.

categories

rights

The rights or license associated with a feed or entry.

authors
