validating a feed
Just wondering what the best way is to validate an atom feed. Currently
I do the following
Abdera abdera = new Abdera();
Parser parser = abdera.getParser();
Document<Feed> feed = parser.parse(
new StringReader(response.getEntity().getText()));
but it still seems to create a valid document even if i parse an RSS
document, like the one below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:taxo="http://purl.or
g/rss/1.0/modules/taxonomy/"

Re: validating a feed
Posted by James M Snell <ja...@gmail.com>.
There is next to no validation code in Abdera. This was intentional in
order to provide as much performance as possible. The burden is on the
developer to use Abdera to produce valid feeds and to check that what
was parsed is valid. For validation, I'll typically run the output
through the feedvalidator (http://feedvalidator.org).
