# Importing Feeds
`Zend\Feed` enables developers to retrieve feeds via `Zend\Feader\Reader`. If
you know the URI of a feed, use the `Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader::import()` method
to consume it:
```php
$feed = Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader::import('http://feeds.example.com/feedName');
```
> ## Importing requires an HTTP client
>
> To import a feed, you will need to have an [HTTP client](zend.feed.http-clients)
> available.
>
> If you are not using zend-http, you will need to inject `Reader` with the HTTP
> client. See the [section on providing a client to Reader](http-clients.md#providing-a-client-to-reader).
You can also use `Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader` to fetch the contents of a feed from
a file or the contents of a PHP string variable:
```php
// importing a feed from a text file
$feedFromFile = Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader::importFile('feed.xml');
// importing a feed from a PHP string variable
$feedFromPHP = Zend\Feed\Reader\Reader::importString($feedString);
```
In each of the examples above, an object of a class that extends
`Zend\Feed\Reader\Feed\AbstractFeed` is returned upon success, depending on the
type of the feed. If an RSS feed were retrieved via one of the import methods
above, then a `Zend\Feed\Reader\Feed\Rss` object would be returned. On the other
hand, if an Atom feed were imported, then a `Zend\Feed\Reader\Feed\Atom` object
is returned. The import methods will also throw a
`Zend\Feed\Exception\Reader\RuntimeException` object upon failure, such as an
unreadable or malformed feed.
## Dumping the contents of a feed
To dump the contents of a `Zend\Feed\Reader\Feed\AbstractFeed` instance, you may
use the `saveXml()` method.
```php
assert($feed instanceof Zend\Feed\Reader\Feed\AbstractFeed);
// dump the feed to standard output
print $feed->saveXml();
```
