Projects
Online and Offline Feed Reader
Spring 2008
Built an online and offline feed reader with multi browser compatibility using Google Gears to display RSS/ATOM feeds.
Depending on the link passed (RSS/ATOM) from a HTML page through AJAX, a Java Servlet was built which parses the corresponding feeds for relevant tags to create a JSON string.
This string was further parsed using JavaScript to retrieve and display the resulting articles.
Provided a functionality to mark an article as read/unread and would maintain the status if Google Gears was installed
Web Crawler
Spring 2008
Created a search engine web site to scrape the New York Times Website using PERL, CGI, JavaScript and HTML.
Business and Technology RSS feeds were extracted from the website using PERL Regular Expressions and were displayed on a resulting HTML page.
Implemented dropdowns that were dynamically populated with relevant articles using JavaScript depending on the feed chosen by the user.
RSS Parser
Spring 2008
Developed a parser to parse RSS feeds using JavaScript, DOM and HTML.
Depending on the URL provided for a XML document (RSS), JavaScript would parse the XML file using the default browser XML DOM Parser and dynamically display the results in a HTML document.
