The Atom component is used to retrieve, parse, and update Atom content.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The Atom component implements a standard Atom reader as defined by RFC 4287 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287) and includes the ATOM publishing capabilities as defined by the "The Atom Publishing Protocol" draft (http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-15.txt).

The component contains a number of properties that map directly to Atom fields. To receive a feed call the GetFeed method with the URL or file to retrieve specified in the URL parameter. You may also update Atom collections using Get, Put, Post and Delete.

The Atom component supports all standard Atom properties and allows you to use your own using the Namespaces collection and the GetProperty and SetProperty methods.
