An Elixir Library for Streaming RSS Feeds

The content covers the challenges faced while consuming RSS feeds in Elixir, particularly the lack of dedicated tooling. It introduces a solution that allows for streaming RSS feeds from a URL, parsing them incrementally using an XML SAX parser and the Req HTTP client. The library, published as a Hex package, showcases how to implement a custom Saxy handler to manage the streaming of RSS data. Additionally, it highlights the use of transformation functions to handle individual episodes and manage state effectively during parsing, while also offering flexibility for users to control halting and accumulation of results. The guide concludes with examples of how to utilize the library in practical scenarios for processing RSS feeds.
