## modified

###

The last-modified date of the feed, as specified in the HTTP headers.

The purpose of `modified` is explained more fully in ETag and Last-Modified Headers.

`modified` will only be present if the feed was retrieved from a web server, and only if the web server provided a Last-Modified HTTP header for the feed. If the feed was parsed from a local file or from a string in memory, `modified` will not be present.
