How to read RSS for Bot Builder

Question

May I ask about how to read RSS in Nodejs for Bot Builder?

Here with my sample RSS from URL.

<rss>
   <channel> 
      <item>
         <title>A- Title</title>
         <description>A - Description</description>
    </item>
      <item>
         <title>B-Title</title>
         <description>B - Description</description>
    </item>
</channel>
</rss>

I tried the XMLHttprequest but can't.

Thank you.

Just as there is SyndicationFeed to read RSS feed in C#, there are various ways in which you can read RSS feeds in NodeJS for bot builder:

• Make use of rss-parser which helps to parse RSS from a URL or an XML string.
• Try node-feedparser which parses RSS, Atom and RDF feeds in NodeJS.
• You can also refer to node-parse-rss.

Hope this helps.
