Overview of the Abdera-based feed libraries

Feeds are a mechanism to deliver content in a standardized specification format. Atom Syndication Format and RSS are two such specifications. Apache Abdera is an open-source project providing feeds support within WebSphere Application Server. Abdera addresses both the Atom syndication format and the Atom Publishing Protocol. In addition, Abdera currently supports reading RSS content.

Package structure

The Abdera libraries are distributed as IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Feature Pack for Web 2.0, a stand-alone package, and as an Eclipse plug-in.
