Query real conference deadline data from CCFDDL and present it clearly.
Data fetching strategy
Try sources in this order — stop as soon as one succeeds:
1. Primary: RSS feed via web_fetch
Fetch https://ccfddl.com/conference/deadlines_zh.xml using the web_fetch tool.
This returns XML with all conferences (including historical ones — you must filter).
2. Fallback: websearch + webfetch
If the RSS feed fails, search for site:ccfddl.com {会议名或方向} deadline and
fetch relevant result pages.
3. Last resort
Tell the user: "CCFDDL 数据暂时无法获取,建议直接访问 https://ccfddl.com 查看。"
Never fabricate conference data.
XML structure and parsing
The feed contains hundreds of <item> entries spanning many years. Each item looks like:
- Initial release of ccfddl-conference-watch.
- Enables fetching and filtering of CCFDDL conference deadline data from https://ccfddl.com.
- Supports queries by conference name, category (CG, AI, MX), and CCF rank (A, B).
- Strictly filters for upcoming deadlines and deduplicates/merges multiple DDLs for the same conference.
- Presents results in a clear, sortable table with concise metadata and summary.
- Never fabricates conference data; guides users to CCFDDL if data is unavailable.
