A Go library for generating fully compliant iTunes and RSS 2.0 podcast feeds with a simple API.
Podcast is a Go package that enables developers to programmatically create and manage podcast feeds. It ensures full compliance with both RSS 2.0 and iTunes specifications, handling validation, formatting, and iTunes-specific metadata automatically.
Go developers building applications that need to generate or manage podcast feeds, such as podcast hosting platforms, content management systems, or media distribution services.
Developers choose this library because it automates the complex rules and validation required for iTunes and RSS 2.0 compliance, reducing manual XML handling and ensuring feeds are accepted by directories like Apple Podcasts. Its simple API and built-in overrides provide convenience and reliability.

Automatically applies iTunes-specific tags and overrides, ensuring feeds meet Apple Podcasts requirements without manual XML tweaking, as highlighted in the key features.
Provides method receivers on structs for easy feed creation and item addition, eliminating complex XML handling, demonstrated in the HTTP handler and io.Writer examples.
The AddItem function performs validation and enforces specifications, maintaining feed integrity and reducing errors, as described in the README's validation section.
Includes fuzz testing for exported API methods to ensure robustness against malformed inputs, mentioned in the Fuzzing Inputs part of the documentation.
Version 1.x only supports unmarshalling to XML, not full bi-directional marshalling, restricting the ability to parse and modify existing feeds, as admitted in the Extensibility section.
It's a Go package, so it's unsuitable for projects in other languages, limiting its ecosystem and integration options outside Go environments.
Version 2.x will break compatibility for developers using underlying structs directly, forcing a migration to API methods, as warned in the README's roadmap.
