# Rivista
Previously, XMPP Journal Publisher ("XJP") and 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](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4287)) from XMPP PubSub nodes ([XEP-0060](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html)).
Rivista includes [XSLT ](https://www.w3.org/TR/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
* fastapi
* lxml
* slixmpp
* tomllib (Python <= 3.10)
* uvicorn
## Installation
### Debian-based Distro
```shell
# apt install python3 python3-fastapi python3-feedgenerator python3-lxml python3-slixmpp python3-tomli uvicorn
```
### Download
Extract the source package to a directory that you have permission to run software.
```shell
$ git clone https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Rivista
$ cd Rivista/
```
### Configure
Add account credentials to file `configuration.toml`.
### Start
Execute Rivista with one of the following commands:
```shell
$ python -m uvicorn main:app --reload
$ python -m uvicorn pubsub_to_atom:app --reload
$ python -m uvicorn pubsub_to_atom:app --reload --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
$ uvicorn pubsub_to_atom:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
$ fastapi dev pubsub_to_atom.py
```
## 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.
### Viewing PubSub
Suppose you have the following PubSub nodes and items.
|Jabber ID |Node |Item |
|--- |--- |--- |
|blog.jmp.chat |urn:xmpp:microblog:0 |launch-2023 |
