When a feed only returns:

and nothing else (except sometimes a lot of whitespace), the callback isn't triggered at all.
I would expect it to give me back an error.

I know the feeds are bad, but it would be nice if I could detect and handle that using Blindparser.

Thanks for a fast and easy way to grab feeds! Love this module!

the feed here does not return anything.

var parser = require('blindparser');

var options = {};

parser.parseURL('http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch', options,function(err,out){
console.log(err);
console.log(out);
});

any idea if you can modify to parse feedburner feeds?

Hello,

Having the following code:

        var options = {
            followRedirect: true,
            timeout: 5000
        };

        parser.parseURL(url, options, function(err, out){
            console.log(out);
            console.log(err);
            if (err) return res.send(400, { error: err });
            return res.send(200, { out: out });
        });

I get a 200 OK with content mismatch and, printed on the console, I got:

[ERROR] 02:08:08 Error
Error: Unexpected close tag
Line: 1158
Column: 9
Char: >

It's impossible to catch the error. What I'm doing wrong?

I was trying out blindparser and threw some podcasts at it and it crashes on this one: http://ember.land/?format=rss

Its a square-space generated feed so I think its probably rss compliant. The error is:

Unexpected close tag
Line: 10
Column: 7
Char: >

I think its having problems parsing the cdata.

Version 0.4.18 of xml2js just got published.

This version is covered by your current version range and after updating it in your project the build failed.

xml2js is a direct dependency of this project this is very likely breaking your project right now. If other packages depend on you it’s very likely also breaking them.
I recommend you give this issue a very high priority. I’m sure you can resolve this 💪

it seems like it's most common to pass a node error object (e.g. new Error('whatever') ) as first parameter into the callback in case something goes wrong.
This module uses mostly plain strings which is rather confusing if one is used to the common way of doing it since if(err) return console.error(err.stack) results in the output undefined
if @dropdownmenu agrees i'd be happy to supply a pull request

not able to parse feed, let me know if its something you might be able to help me with.

Error:

xml2js.js:212
throw ex;
^
TypeError: undefined is not a function

simple script that im trying:

var parser = require('blindparser');

parser.parseURL('http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechCrunch',function(err,out){
console.log(err);
console.log(out);
});

Very nice parse. My question is when i have special characters like áéíóú etc, the parser return a ? instead of the character or utf8 code.
Any help is appreciated

Hi,

Can you help me. I am trying to get the MP3 url from this feed.

For other feeds this application works great but for this one it doesn't show the feed.
