RSS Feed

Github StackBlitz

This project demonstrates how to create an RSS feed in a Go application using the Fiber framework.

Prerequisites​

Ensure you have the following installed:

Setup​

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/gofiber/recipes.git
    cd recipes/rss-feed

  2. Install dependencies:

    go get

Running the Application​

  1. Start the application: 
    go run main.go

Example​

This recipe uses Mustache templates (via the gofiber/template/mustache engine) to render an RSS XML response. The template lives in ./xmls/example.xml.

xmls/example.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
    <language>{{{Lang}}}</language>
    <title>{{{Title}}}</title>
    <greeting>{{{Greetings}}}</greeting>
</note>

main.go:

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v3"
    "github.com/gofiber/template/mustache/v3"
)

func main() {
    engineXML := mustache.New("./xmls", ".xml")
    if err := engineXML.Load(); err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    app := fiber.New()

    app.Get("/rss", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
        // Set Content-Type to application/rss+xml
        c.Type("rss")

        // Render Mustache template with data
        return engineXML.Render(c, "example", fiber.Map{
            "Lang":      "en",
            "Title":     "hello-rss",
            "Greetings": "Hello World",
        })
    })

    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}

Testing with curl​

curl http://localhost:3000/rss
