Frequently Asked Questions About RSS Validator

Why does my feed fail in readers but validates here?

Readers enforce extra expectations such as per-item GUIDs, correct content types and reachable URLs, which a syntax check does not cover.

Does it fetch my live feed?

Where a URL field is offered, the browser must be able to read the response; a feed without CORS headers cannot be fetched from another origin.

What makes XML well formed?

One root element, matched and case-consistent tags, quoted attribute values and escaped special characters such as & and <.

Does it check my XSD or DTD?

The browser parser checks well-formedness only. Schema validation needs the schema processor in your build, so treat a clean result here as a syntax pass, not a contract check.
