Class Author

java.lang.Object

com.colorfulsoftware.rss.Author

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Author
extends Object
implements Serializable

The <author> element.

From the RSS 2.0 specification...

Email address of the author of the item. More.

<author> is an optional sub-element of <item>.

It's the email address of the author of the item. For newspapers and magazines syndicating via RSS, the author is the person who wrote the article that the <item> describes. For collaborative weblogs, the author of the item might be different from the managing editor or webmaster. For a weblog authored by a single individual it would make sense to omit the <author> element.

<author>lawyer@boyer.net (Lawyer Boyer)</author>
