## Preserving WireFeeds

WireFeeds will be preserved if the property preserveWireFeed is set on the SyndFeedInput object it is built from:

    SyndFeedInput in = new SyndFeedInput();
    in.setPreserveWireFeed(true);
    SyndFeed syndFeed = in.build(..);
    WireFeed wireFeed = syndFeed.originalWireFeed();

Atom/RSS Entry/Item objects are also available from SyndEntry objects if the WireFeed is preserved:

    Object obj = syndEntry.getWireEntry();
    if (obj != null && obj instanceof Entry) {
            // it is an Atom Entry object
            // do Atom specific stuff, eg:
            Entry entry = (Entry) o;
            System.out.println(entry.getRights());
    } else if (obj != null && obj instanceof Item) {
            // it is a RSS Item object
            // do RSS specific stuff eg:
            Item item = (Item) o;
            System.out.println(item.getComments());
    }

The Fetcher can be set to preserve WireFeeds by setting the preserveWireFeed property to true:

    feedFetcher.setPreserveWireFeed(true);
