Example syndication documents

These examples show how existing syndication feed pages could be represented as /.well-known/syndication documents.

BBC

This example is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or published by the BBC. It was created by scanning the public BBC News feeds page, checking representative BBC Sport RSS endpoints, and translating those feeds into this draft format.

BBC is a useful example because feeds naturally fall under segments such as BBC News and BBC Sport. Collections let a reader present those groups without scraping several full pages.

The full OPML catalogue at news.bbc.co.uk/rss/feeds.opml contains 1,725 feeds. This example shows a compact syndication document with deferred collection URLs, so a reader can present the groups first and fetch the detailed feed lists only when needed.

This example advertises 46 feeds divided into 2 deferred collections.

BBC News
39 feeds
BBC Sport
7 feeds
