Atom 1.0 parser for Ruby

I've been looking for a Ruby library for parsing Atom 1.0. The only one I could find was FeedTools. Unfortunately, it's intended to be a universal feed-parsing library and not quite what I need.

As a result, I decided to build my own. The project is hosted at RubyForge and the source code is available under the MIT license.

It is still in its early stages, so don't expect much at this point. So far, it understands most atom:* elements and attributes but doesn't perform validation.

The interface is fairly simple. For example, you can do this:

require 'atom'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

str = Net::HTTP::get(URI::parse('http://blog.ning.com/atom.xml'))
feed = Atom::Feed.new(str)

feed.entries.each { |entry|
puts "'#{entry.title}' by #{entry.authors.first.name} on #{entry.published.strftime('%m/%d/%Y')}"
}

Give it a try, play with it. Comments are welcome!
