I am trying to write a podcast downloader in Go. The following code parses an RSS feed but the link of the channel is empty when printing the parsed data to the standard output. I don't know why. Any suggestions? I am new to Go.
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
"net/http"
)
type Enclosure struct {
Url string `xml:"url,attr"`
Length int64 `xml:"length,attr"`
Type string `xml:"type,attr"`
}
type Item struct {
Title string `xml:"title"`
Link string `xml:"link"`
Desc string `xml:"description"`
Guid string `xml:"guid"`
Enclosure Enclosure `xml:"enclosure"`
PubDate string `xml:"pubDate"`
}
type Channel struct {
Title string `xml:"title"`
Link string `xml:"link"`
Desc string `xml:"description"`
Items []Item `xml:"item"`
}
type Rss struct {
Channel Channel `xml:"channel"`
}
func main() {
resp, err := http.Get("http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrvz8/episodes/downloads.rss")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error GET: %v
", err)
return
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
rss := Rss{}
decoder := xml.NewDecoder(resp.Body)
err = decoder.Decode(&rss)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error Decode: %v
", err)
return
}
fmt.Printf("Channel title: %v
", rss.Channel.Title)
fmt.Printf("Channel link: %v
", rss.Channel.Link)
for i, item := range rss.Channel.Items {
fmt.Printf("%v. item title: %v
", i, item.Title)
}
}
