Server side - pulling and displaying an XML / RSS feed

Reading an XML or an RSS feed and displaying the content is simple. This example uses the $xmltool in velocity to pull a news feed and display its contents. In a real world example, you would probably want to cache the results.

#set($myXML = $xmltool.read("https://techxplore.com/rss-feed/"))

#foreach($childEntry in $myXML.children.iterator)
   #set($entryXML = $xmltool.parse($childEntry))  
    <p>
    Title: $entryXML.title.text <br />
    Link:  $entryXML.link.text <br />
    Category:  $entryXML.category.text <br />
    PubDate:  $entryXML.pubDate.text <br />
    description:  $entryXML.description.text <br />
    </p>
#end
