Feed Publishing Framework

The Feed Publishing Framework provides:

  • Feed Publishing Wizard, a simplified guide for content owners and administrative users to create, configure, and maintain feed definitions and feed templates of various types.

  • Publish as Feed hidden pages to allow for feed publication directly from the data component.

  • Interfaces for end users to search for feeds and to discover related feeds.

  • Management of feed definitions, feed categories, feed templates and feed data types as PeopleTools managed objects.

  • A set of APIs and code samples to assist application developers in creating new types of feeds and integrating them with existing features.

    Multiple language support.
