RSS Explained

What Is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) (formally acronym of "RDF Site Summary") is a format for sharing content among different websites, based on XML format. Sites can syndicate “feeds” (content) and Internet users can use an application called an RSS reader or aggregator to download feeds. There are many such readers available, most at no cost.

Using RSS, webmasters can put their content into a standardized format, which can be viewed and organized through RSS-aware software or automatically conveyed as new content on another website dynamically through embedded RSS Feed Reader (usually written in Javascript using AJAX or parsed by server side scripting such PHP-based XML aggregator).
