Struct RssFeedValidator 

pub struct RssFeedValidator<'a> { /* private fields */ }

RSS feed validator for validating the structure and content of an RSS feed.

Implementations

impl<'a> RssFeedValidator<'a>

pub fn new(rss_data: &'a RssData) -> Self

Creates a new RssFeedValidator instance with the provided RssData.

Arguments

• rss_data - A reference to the RssData to be validated.

Returns

A new instance of RssFeedValidator.

pub fn validate(&self) -> Result<()>

Validates the RSS feed structure and content.

This method performs a comprehensive validation of the RSS feed, including structure, items, dates, and version-specific requirements.

Returns

• Ok(()) if the validation passes.
• Err(RssError::ValidationErrors) containing a list of validation errors if any are found.

Errors

This function returns an Err(RssError::ValidationErrors) if any validation checks fail.

pub fn parse_date(date_str: &str) -> Result<OffsetDateTime>

Parses a date string into a time::OffsetDateTime.

Delegates to crate::data::parse_date, which accepts both RFC 2822 (the historical RSS 2.0 wire format — any timezone is accepted, including +0000, +0530, EST, etc.) and ISO 8601 (used by Atom and Dublin Core). The previous implementation hard-required a literal " GMT" suffix, rejecting every spec-compliant feed produced outside of GMT.

Errors

Returns RssError::DateParseError when the input matches neither RFC 2822 nor ISO 8601.
