Any plans for using Atom with rails. I saw the “Typo” project is  
using MoveableType, Blogger, … but not Atom.

It seems Atom is not part of ActionWebService.

Has anyone done any work with Atom and Rails ?

Thanks for your answers,

Gaspard

It’s not hard enough to merit dealing with as a special case… there’s  
an rxml template that’ll do it nicely here:

Yes, but thats just the atom syndication part. I believe the OP wanted  
the actual API…

Is that finalized yet??

I didn’t realize Atom was a web service standard – I thought it was  
comparable to RSS. I think Typo does support it in that context.

It sounds like the OP was possibly referring to Atomz (the cms), not  
Atom (the feed spec)?

I know this sample. It’s just the ‘read’ part, no ‘create’, ‘delete’  
nor ‘update’, which I am looking for…

We (me and one guy) has been developping a application on rails.  
This application is a implementation of Blog.

It have some features includes AtomAPI (feed, post, edit and delete).  
These codes release under GPL2.

You can see at  
[http://developer.berlios.de/projects/donrails/](http://developer.berlios.de/projects/donrails/)

Acturally, AtomAPI feature is BETA status.  
Please see codes at SVN trunk.

Thanks for the link. I did an svn export of the trunk. It looks  
exactly as what I am looking for. I will have a very close look at  
your atom\_controller.

From what I see in the Typo source, there is no support for Atom  
(apart from feed) :  
Here are the used API “blogger\_service”, “meta\_weblog\_service”,  
“movable\_type\_service”

Here is a short insight of what I am talking of : http://  
[www.atomenabled.org/developers/tutorials/api-quick-guide.php](http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/tutorials/api-quick-guide.php)

Atom seems like the future to read/write web content from apps other  
then standard web browsers.
