For an organized navigation, It is possible to create categories & place feeds inside them.

A handy feature is "keyword-based" categories which can auto-move items with the keywords mentioned into the related categories which is great for anyone who follows multiple feeds but hunts for specific keywords.

PHP RSS Reader comes with a complete admin panel where every setting can be controlled.

The application creates SEO-friendly URLs for every category & article which is important for anyone who will use PHP RSS Reader for creating a feed-based website rather than using it as a personal feed-reader.

It is possible to change the look & feel of the interface by simply playing with the CSS files.

There is a web-based installer that help making the application online in a few minutes.

PHP RSS Reader comes with 2 versions:

• free version (has some limitations like no keyword-categorization & unlimited sub-categories)
• complete, paid version which includes all the features.

The application is a must-check for anyone looking for an advanced RSS reader, planning to create a feed-based website or integrate feeds into an application (where PHP RSS Reader can be used only as the backend engine).

It can select the value of any XML node or a node's parameter & can ouput a totally customized HTML.

The plugin is very flexible & offers features like:

• running callback functions before it starts & after it finishes
• limitting the number of <items> to be processed
• excluding XML nodes with certain words, numbers or symbols
• output the number of <item>'s in a feed anywhere in your document

As jQuery .ajax method does not allow cross domain Ajax requests, the XML must be on the same domain.

To see how easy it is to parse a XML file with jParse, check the demo.

It works flawless with fetching only the text & ,currently, has a partial support for images.

The application uses other open source codes like:

• TCPDF
• HTML Tidy
• SimplePie
• HTML Purifier
• SmartyPants
• OPML Parser

If a feed shares a part of the original content, the application has an option to fetch the complete content as well.

Although the application may not seem interesting for many developers at first, the code & the function itself is an inspiration+resource for offering more out of feeds.

This feed comparison application lets you compare up to 4 feeds at a time and presents the results with a nice flash chart interface (amCharts).

Feed Compare is great, not only comparing the end numbers but also for viewing the subscribers in a timeline (max: 24 months) to analyze the feeds of similar sites better.

P.S.: Thanks for the guys at Feed Compare for the suggestion.
