| Text | <title>text</title> | quoted only when it contains a comma or a quote |
| Long text | <description>text</description>, usually wrapped in CDATA | must be quoted; line breaks inside force multi-line records |
| Date | <pubDate>Mon, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate> (RFC 822) | 2026-09-18 |
| Datetime | <pubDate>Mon, 18 Sep 2026 14:30:00 GMT</pubDate> (RFC 822) | 2026-09-18 14:30:00 |

Dialect differences
Both RSS and CSV are file formats, so what differs below is how each one chooses to represent a value.
| Property | in RSS | in CSV |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | XML quoting; content is usually escaped in CDATA | Double quotes; a literal quote is doubled ("" ) |
| dates | RFC 822 text, for example Mon, 18 Sep 2026 14:30:00 GMT | Conventional text: 2026-09-18 or 2026-09-18 14:30:00 |
| binary | Via enclosure URLs, not inline | Not supported |
| separator | XML elements | Comma "," |
| encoding | Declared in the XML declaration | No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM |
| typing | None | None - every field is text |
| shape | Channel plus repeated <item> elements | Flat table, optional header row |
| ceiling | A feed is a window on recent items, not a full data set | No formal limit; row count bounded by memory |
