This gem turns RSS Feeds into ruby objects. It is a HttpMonkey middleware wich parse the feeds xml dynamically and create a hash from the given attributes.
As a gift for you this hash is Methodized, in other words, you can read the hash attributes as object methods.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'hyperfeed'

$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install hyperfeed
