I am writing a #podcast feed generator with @…
It is interesting how no two podcast feed look the same. Some have one or two namespaces (usually itunes and podcasting 2.0) and some have over half a dozen (rawvoice, googleplay, purl, atom, etc.).
itunes tags greatly vary in quantity and syntax. Several of them are not even listed on the Apple official page for Podcast RSS pages. https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcb54353390
Of course, that page is incomplete and you can find other tags that are still in use in their documentation...
Some people added tags from podcasting 2.0 that never got accepted, and are not even mentionned as proposed anymore (for instance, @… uses podcast:id).
Some publsh enclosures in formats nobody understands (for instance, Peertube publishes m3u8 files...)
This is an incredible mess. And I'll probably add to it by publishing one more incomplete generator 😅
