package com.sandeep.blog.parser;

import it.sauronsoftware.feed4j.FeedIOException;
import it.sauronsoftware.feed4j.FeedParser;
import it.sauronsoftware.feed4j.FeedXMLParseException;
import it.sauronsoftware.feed4j.UnsupportedFeedException;

  } catch (FeedIOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (FeedXMLParseException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (UnsupportedFeedException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

  int items = feed.getItemCount();
  
  for (int i = 1; i <= items; i++) {
