RSS Editor

The RSS Editor tool enables precise editing of RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds to support reliable syndication. It parses the input XML, preserves encoding, and exposes channel and item fields for modification without altering structural rules. It is suited for publishers, podcast producers, and developers who need to correct metadata, adjust publication dates, or add new items before distribution. Conceptually, the editor treats the feed as a tree of elements; edits are applied as targeted node updates, with validation checks performed against the relevant feed standard. The tool differentiates between required channel data and optional, advanced item fields, enabling both basic edits and complex transformations (e.g., batch updates across multiple items, enclosure handling for podcasts, and iTunes namespace adjustments). The output includes a cleaned feed XML and a validation report. Unique value lies in its strict conformance checks, support for podcast-specific elements, and the ability to produce a deterministic, production-ready feed export for CMS or hosting platforms. Use cases include migration to a new feed URL, correcting malformed items after content updates, and preparing feeds for multi-directory distribution. Core features include structured editing, import/export of feed XML, version-aware validation, and non-destructive editing with a detailed change log.
