I am looking for the XSD schema of RSS. Via Wikipedia I have found several pages on the specifications of RSS 2.0 but none offers an XSD schema. I found several correct xsd files around on the web but all these schemas are created by individual developers. I'm surprised not to find a site official RSS 2.0 specification and provides a formal XSD.

Do you know where I can find a perfect match of the official XSD schema for RSS 2.0?

  • XSD isn't popular in many circles - it's commonly accused of being too complex - and it's not necessary in order to process XML, so I don't think it's really a surprise that there isn't a schema for RSS 2. – Matthew Wilson Oct 30 '09 at 16:01

    @MatthewWilson: criticized in some circles perhaps - loved in others. I promote XSD for the declarative standardization and strictness, which removes the need to implement additional XML validation in code. This standardized strictness leads to fewer errors locally - but especially in communications across systems. – Joel Purra Jul 25 '12 at 14:11

Google "rss 2.0 xsd schema" returns a bunch of hits.

I believe there is no one "official" schema, just the official spec from which various people have developed XSD schema.
