Support the OPML format for feeds

Thanks, for addinmg it here. Now with Google's decision to sunset Reader, many may use OPMl feature to import feeds.

@anandrkris I've been taking a look at how to add this to the feed reader backend. My understanding is that OPML is used mainly to import/export lists of RSS feeds and not as a permanent list of feeds.

Therefore rather than supporting OPML feeds directly (in the way the applet supports RSS/Atom feeds) I propose to add a setting to import/export from an OPML file (perhaps via the new feed management GUI -- #31). Would this suite what you want to do?

Also if you could provide an example or partial example of the OPML file you want to use it would be useful for testing.

Yes, you're right it will be one-off process. Have generated file from exporting feeds i follow in https://www.goread.io/. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dkke3ugq1br1i36/subscriptions.opml Now, am thinking usually it could be a big list of feeds. If it is too much work, you may defer this feature or seek feedback from community if they want it. BTW, the prototype feed management app looks cool. :smile:
