RSS to JavaScript conversion service brings newsfeeds to every web page

Websites that have been locked out of the RSS revolution by the inability to host CGI scripts can now display newsfeeds, formatted to fit the look and feel of their site, by using a remotely hosted RSS to JavaScript conversion service.

OREM, Utah--23 September 2003--Mouken, L.C. is pleased to announce the launch of their RSS to JavaScript conversion service (http://www.mouken.com/rss/rss2js/), enabling all websites, whether they are able to host CGI scripts or not, to display RSS newsfeeds.

Many major news outlets as well as blogs and other information sources offer their headlines and news summaries as RSS newsfeeds, which may be displayed on other websites. Because the newsfeeds provide links to the full stories, commercial news outlets are willing to provide this service at no charge, knowing that it will bring more traffic to their sites. This enables other websites to automatically display continuously updated information. However, because RSS newsfeeds cannot be displayed directly by web browsers, a script is required to convert from RSS to HTML, or, as in the case of this new service, to JavaScript which can be displayed on any website.

The RSS to JavaScript conversion service is built around Mouken's highly rated CaRP RSS parser. CaRP's capabilities give webmasters complete control of how the newsfeeds appear on their sites, as well as enabling content-based filtering of news items and aggregation of news from multiple sources. CaRP also increases security by ensuring that newsfeeds to not contain malicious scripts or other HTML which could compromise the privacy or security of website visitors.

For sites that can run PHP scripts, the basic version CaRP is available as a free download, the full featured version for $5.00 (US), and custom installation is available for $30.00. The addition of the RSS to JavaScript conversion service brings the power of this program and RSS newsfeeds to all websites, and rounds out the CaRP product line at a price of $14.95 a year for up to 10 newsfeeds, with additional feeds available at $12.95 per 10 feeds.
