Many sites, including this one now have RSS feeds, and many people use programs like NetNewsWire to easily browse them. But what if you want to add an RSS feed to your site so you could for instance have the latest news headlines on your front page? With Feed2Javascript this can be really simple. Just download the libraries, upload it, tweak a few configuration settings, and you have syndicated content on your site. You don’t have to mess with XML, or any scripting at all. You can use the service off of their servers, or download the open-source code and run it on your own server if you are wary of possible downtime from a third-party server.

Feed2JS is based on Magpie RSS, which is a similar parser of RSS and XML feeds, but not quite as easy to use.
