Rivista XJP
Rivista XJP ("XMPP Journal Publisher"); previously XMPP PubSub To Atom ("XPTA").
Rivista is a software that parses XMPP Pubsub Nodes and sends them as Atom Syndication Format or OPML over HTTP.
Rivista generates Atom syndication feeds (RFC 4287) from XMPP PubSub nodes (XEP-0060).
Rivista includes XSLT stylesheets that transform PubSub nodes into static XHTML journal sites.
Rivista was inspired from Tigase and was motivated by Movim.

Motivation
Rivista is a syndication project which makes journals and publications that are hosted on XMPP PubSub nodes, available from HTTP to both, XML news readers and even HTML browsers.
This means that instead of hosting a journal or publication site in the old fashion (i.e. HTML documents hosted on an HTTP server), one only has to have an HTTP server to operate Rivista, and the rest of the content is delivered from an XMPP server (i.e. PubSub nodes).
The project also showcases the non-necessity of HTML, as it automatically generates valid XHTML pages by HTML browsers (client-side) from XSLT stylesheets.
Because Rivista reads XMPP PubSub nodes, it is possible to view a complete set of node items, and even a single node item, which means, that a considered and carefully earnest use of Rivista would save bandwidth and system overhead, which includes CPU, I/O and RAM usage.
Requirements
- Python >= 3.5
- beautifulsoup4

Usage
It is possible to view a complete node and even a single item, which means, that it is possible to save bandwidth and it further means that a considered and carefully earnest use of this software would save system overhead, which includes CPU, I/O and RAM usage.
