Open Source Code

TailRank is built on a number of Open Source components. We've extended a number of them and added more features.

Right now (due to time constraints) we're making these available as source snapshots.

Java FeedParser

Our Java-based FeedParser started off as the Jakarta FeedParser which was originally contributed to the ASF by Rojo. We're currently evaluating whether it make sense to continue developing it under Apache as the political aspect of day-to-day life with the ASF became onerous.

* Not to be confused with Mark Pilgrim's FeedParser

This version of FeedParser differs from the mainline Jakarta FeedParser in a few areas:

        - Atom 1.0 support
        - per-Thread User-Agent settings
        - Support for HTTP auth
        - FeedBurner extension support
        - RSS 2.0 fixes.
        - Fixes in date parsing.
    

Now that we don't have to yield to the ASF's 40 step release process we should have a 1.0 release soon.

Torque

This is a fork of Torque which was original developed for use within Rojo. We've since extended it for use within TailRank but have not yet migrated to the new code.

This originally started off as a small set of changes which grew and grew until it wasn't possible to easily contribute this back to the ASF. The intention is to work with the Torque team to merge these changes into the mainline (if possible).

This version of Torque includes:

        - support for java.lang.Date and DATETIME objects 
        - client-side joins for performance
        - extended query API for MySQL extensions and other features.
        - caching infrastructure for client-side caching and memcached integration
        - full prepared statement support enabled by default
        - lazy result set parsing for performance
        - support for MySQL replicated installs
