Is there any way to access unparsed tags? about rss HOT 3 CLOSED

I've implemented it and released a new version.

We'll not provide accessors for unknown tags. It's by design.

I learned a little more about itunes:episodeType at Apple's Help Page for their podcast RSS extensions.

Not answering your question: but guessing at a solution that changes the ruby/rss implementation!

Perhaps adding episodeType to the item section of the itunes-specific code in this repo would be a way to get the data? https://github.com/ruby/rss/blob/master/lib/rss/itunes.rb#L267 - I am suggesting that this list of tags could be extended to also know about the episodeType?

Hope this helps - and do make a PR if you feel you want to pursue it.

require 'bundler/inline'

gemfile do
  source 'https://rubygems.org'
  gem 'pry'
end

require 'open-uri'
require 'pry'
require 'rss'
require 'uri'

MINDSCAPE_FEED = 'https://rss.art19.com/sean-carrolls-mindscape'
URI.open(MINDSCAPE_FEED) do |rss|
  feed = RSS::Parser.parse(rss, ignore_unknown_element = true)

  puts "Title: #{feed.channel.title}"
  feed.items.each do |item|
    binding.pry
    puts item.itunes_episode_type
  end
end

I think that if there was a way to access a tag by name it would be a more generic solution so that the code doesn't have to change every time somebody decides to add a tag to their RSS feed.

Maybe even adding a hook where I could write a couple of lines of code would be OK.
