About Atom
Atom was written as a stricter answer to RSS, and the IETF made it a standard in 2005, RFC 4287. A feed lists a site's latest entries, each with an id that never changes, a title, the time it was updated, its authors and its content as text, HTML or XHTML.
GitHub, YouTube, Blogger and many blog engines write Atom. Its rules are tighter than RSS's: every entry needs an id and an update time, and dates are always written the same way, so readers can tell what's new and what changed.
Filepeek lists the entries newest first beside the one you pick, its content drawn with no script running and no picture loaded from the web. Links open in a new tab, entries missing an id or a date are marked, and Tree and Text show the XML.

Questions
How do I read an Atom file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an Atom. Its entries open newest first, and each one opens in full when you pick it.
What's the difference between Atom and RSS?
Both list a site's latest posts. Atom is a standard with stricter rules, like an id and an update time on every entry, while RSS is older and more widely written. Filepeek opens both the same way.
Do pictures in the entries load?
No. Pictures from the web are held back, so opening the feed tells no server anything. Links open in a new tab when you click them.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file opens inside your browser and never leaves your device.
