Glossary
========
This glossary is introductory and therefore not ordered alphabetically.
Plugin A plugin is a swappable handler. It can be either a fetcher, a
parser or a processor.
See FeedsPlugin class.
Fetcher A plugin responsible for downloading, loading or receiving data.
See FeedsFetcher and extending classes.
Parser A plugin responsible for bringing fetched data into a digestable
format for processors.
See FeedsParser and extending classes.
Processor A plugin that "does stuff" with data. Usually a processor stores
data in one or the other form (a node, a user, a simple DB record).
See FeedsProcessor and extending classes.
Feed A body of data. Can contain a title and feed items. A feed can
appear in different forms depending on the import stage: before
fetching a feed would be the external document to be fetched. After
fetching it would be the raw data dump handed to the parser. After
parsing it would be the normalized PHP array that is passed to the
processor.
Depending on the import stage, a feed is represented by a
FeedsFetcherResult or a FeedsParserResult.
See FeedsFetcherResult class, FeedsParserResult class.
Feed item A feed is assumed to have an array of equally formed entities: feed
items. The composition of these items depends on the parser.
Feed source This is the description of the source of a feed. This can be for
example a URL. But a feed source can also have other properties
describing a source. For instance, which field delimiter is being
used in a CSV file.
See FeedsSource class.
Importer An importer contains a specific configuration of one fetcher, one
parser and one processor. It is used to import a feed. Importers
can be used through a standalone import form available on
http://www.example.com/import/ or they can be attached to a content
type. In the latter case feeds are imported by creating nodes of
such a content type.
Importers are configured on admin/build/feeds. They are sometimes
referred to as "Importer configuration or "Configuration".
See FeedsImporter class.
Import stage The state of the importing process. The import stages are:
fetching, parsing and processing.
Feed node A node that is used for importing feeds. A feed node is of a
content type that has an Importer attached.
