FeedX
FeedX is a universal XML feed reader for MODx. Rather than being limited to specific formats, the snippet is capable of parsing and rendering nearly any XML format (RSS, RDF, Atom, you name it). In addition to functioning as a snippet, FeedX's class may be called by 3rd party snippets/plugins/modules as a simple method of retrieving cached and parsed XML data.
FeedX provides the ability to use PHx parsing, data limits/offsets, sorting, and filtering on individual feed elements. It also possesses the ability to convert a feed from one format to another (XML->JSON, RSS->Atom, etc.) using a series of custom templates/chunks. In addition, multiple feeds can be combined by including multiple FeedX calls on a single page.
