What is RSS


RSS is a family of XML file formats for Web syndication used by (among other things) news websites and weblogs. The abbreviation is used to refer to the following standards:
  • Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
  • RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
  • Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0.0)

The technology of RSS allows Internet users to subscribe to websites that provide RSS feeds; these are often sites that change or add content regularly. To use this technology, site owners create or obtain software which, in the machine-readable XML format, presents new articles in a list, giving details of each article and a link to the full article on the site. This subscription is usually free.

The RSS formats provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other meta-data. This information is delivered as an XML file called an RSS feed. Is well as facilitating syndication, RSS allows a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator.
