Is PHP the best way to read an xml feed?

[gomzi]

I would like to know whether php provides the best mechanism for reading an xml file? ( i.e. for reading feeds.(rss or atom). ) or should one look for some other means.

I will move this thread to PHP forum, even Rss is XML data, the answer has to deal with PHP coding and objects.
