RSS Validator

Does your RSS feed validate? Mine does. (Here’s a sample feed that doesn’t.)

Validate your RSS feed. Please.

This is a brand new RSS validator, built from the ground up to support all versions of RSS (but optimized for RSS 2.0). Previous efforts (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0) were either not comprehensive, or not user-friendly; this validator attempts to be both. The interactive web front end is available now; XML-RPC, SOAP, and XML-over-HTTP interfaces are coming. Concept, web design, and 300 test cases by me. Coding by Sam Ruby. And of course it’s open source.

Send bug reports to feedback@feedvalidator.org. Update: several confirmed bugs already. Version 1.0.1 is deployed and available for download. See Validator news weblog for status.

We are in desperate need of an 88 x 31 valid RSS graphic. Update: I’ve received several so far; keep ‘em coming. We’ll vote later. Vote for your favorite.
