The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

Feed metadata and entries become Atom XML with required id, title, updated, author, and link elements plus optional content and categories. Text is XML-escaped and link relations distinguish alternate, self, and enclosure URLs.

  • Stable ids and updated times support reader ordering.
  • Authors can be inherited where Atom permits.

Worked example

Tech blog Atom feed with one entry
Generate an Atom 1.0 XML feed with a single blog post entry
Input
											Title: Tech Blog
Link: https://blog.example.com
Author name: Jane Doe
Entries: [{"title":"First Post","link":"https://blog.example.com/first","summary":"Welcome to my blog"}]
Output
												<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title>Tech Blog</title>
  <link href="https://blog.example.com"/>
  <link href="https://blog.example.com/feed.atom" rel="self"/>
  <id>https://blog.example.com/</id>

  <author>
    <name>Jane Doe</name>
  </author>
  <entry>
    <title>First Post</title>
    <link href="https://blog.example.com/first"/>
    <id>https://blog.example.com/first</id>
    <updated>2026-08-25T12:45:14.762Z</updated>
    <summary>Welcome to my blog</summary>
  </entry>
</feed>

When to use this

Blogs, release monitors, and database exports generate Atom feeds.

Edge cases

  • An entry without id is invalid for interoperable readers.
  • Markup characters in titles need XML escaping.
  • Relative links depend on the feed base URI.
