Abdera: Atom Source element

If an atom entry copied from one feed to another, then source element is used to preserve original entry metadata.

If you got the feed instance, then you can call ‘getAsSource’ method to get the Source instance from feed.

Example

<source xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xml:base="https://self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com/atom.xml">

Following application get the source element from the feed generated by atom document ‘https://self-learning-java-tutorial.blogspot.com/atom.xml’.

Following is the complete working application.
