RSS Web Service

A friend wanted to get RSS feeds to populate a Silverlight project he was working on. He needed the results of the feed in JavaScript. This seems like a simple task but we could not find a simple way to do this.

ASP.Net RSS Toolkit is an awesome piece of software that retrieves RSS feeds and provides multiple ways to display them. I could not find a way to display them in JavaScript as JSON. I coded a simple application that does.

I did find this: JavaScript Simple Syndication - JSS after I wrote this program. It is not a web service but it does the same thing.
