it's a webring with posts from frens!

```rust use std::error::Error;

[tokio::main]

async fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let options = FrenringOptionsBuilder::new().build();

let frenring = generate_frenring(

inspired by Drew DeVault's openring. I mean this is basically a "rewrite it in rust" moment, because I didn't want to touch golang templates, or worse, golang. the main difference is that it outputs a JSON array rather than fill the data into a supplied golang template.

in Zola, you can use the resulting JSON in a template with the load_data built-in function.

this is the rust library. there is also a cli - see one directory higher or in frenring crate (lib.rs).

security considerations: make sure the output you serve (such as html) is sanitized. xml parser is in use. strings with paths to local filesystem are accepted as a source of a feed. remote http/https servers receive your ip address. http communication can be intercepted and altered by a third party.
