For an Android app I am currently working on, I would like to be able to parse raw XML data from an RSS feed and display it. The RSS feed in question uses Feedburner for publish
You should use ?format=xml
to get raw XML for a feed. Indeed, both ways of retrieving feed XML works. But not always. ?format=xml
however worked on all feed I've tried, but ?fmt=xml
does not. I could guess, fmt
is legacy parameter, as the feeds where View feed XML button available use format
.
Often, FeedBurner provides XML feed directly (don't be confused with stylesheets used to prettify RSS).
