// Package podcast generates a fully compliant iTunes and RSS 2.0 podcast feed // for GoLang using a simple API. // // Full documentation with detailed examples located at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast // // Usage // // To use, `go get` and `import` the package like your typical GoLang library. // // $ go get -u github.com/eduncan911/podcast // // import "github.com/eduncan911/podcast" // // The API exposes a number of method receivers on structs that implements the // logic required to comply with the specifications and ensure a compliant feed. // A number of overrides occur to help with iTunes visibility of your episodes. // // Notably, the `Podcast.AddItem` function performs most // of the heavy lifting by taking the `Item` input and performing // validation, overrides and duplicate setters through the feed. // // Full detailed Examples of the API are at https://godoc.org/github.com/eduncan911/podcast. // // Extensibility // // In no way are you restricted in having full control over your feeds. You may // choose to skip the API methods and instead use the structs directly. The // fields have been grouped by RSS 2.0 and iTunes fields. // // iTunes specific fields are all prefixed with the letter `I`. // // References // // RSS 2.0: https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html // // Podcasts: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itca5b22233 // // Roadmap // // The 1.x branch is now mostly in maintenance mode, open to PRs. This means no // more planned features on the 1.x feature branch is expected. With the success of 6 // iTunes-accepted podcasts I have published with this library, and with the feedback from // the community, the 1.x releases are now considered stable. // // The 2.x branch's primary focus is to allow for bi-direction marshalling both ways. // Currently, the 1.x branch only allows unmarshalling to a serial feed. An attempt to marshall // a serialized feed back into a Podcast form will error or not work correctly. Note that while // the 2.x branch is targeted to remain backwards compatible, it is true if using the public // API funcs to set parameters only. Several of the underlying public fields are being removed // in order to accommodate the marshalling of serialized data. Therefore, a version 2.x is denoted // for this release. // // Versioning // // We use SemVer versioning schema. You can rest assured that pulling 1.x branches will // remain backwards compatible now and into the future. // // However, the new 2.x branch, while keeping the same API, is expected break those that // bypass the API methods and use the underlying public properties instead. // // Release Notes // // 1.3.2 // * Correct count len of UTF8 strings (#9) // * Implement duration parser (#8) // * Fix Github and GoDocs Markdown (#14) // * Move podcast.go Private Methods to Respected Files (#12) // * Allow providing GUID on Podcast (#15) // // 1.3.1 // * increased itunes compliance after feedback from Apple: // - specified what categories should be set with AddCategory(). // - enforced title and link as part of Image. // * added Podcast.AddAtomLink() for more broad compliance to readers. // // 1.3.0 // * fixes Item.Duration being set incorrectly. // * changed Item.AddEnclosure() parameter definition (Bytes not Seconds!). // * added Item.AddDuration formatting and override. // * added more documentation surrounding Item.Enclosure{} // // 1.2.1 // * added Podcast.AddSubTitle() and truncating to 64 chars. // * added a number of Guards to protect against empty fields. // // 1.2.0 // * added Podcast.AddPubDate() and Podcast.AddLastBuildDate() overrides. // * added Item.AddImage() to mask some cumbersome addition of IImage. // * added Item.AddPubDate to simply datetime setters. // * added more examples (mostly around Item struct). // * tweaked some documentation. // // 1.1.0 // * Enabling CDATA in ISummary fields for Podcast and Channel. // // 1.0.0 // * Initial release. // * Full documentation, full examples and complete code coverage. // package podcast
