RSS is a family of web sources formats encoded in XML. It is used to provide updated information to subscribers frequently. The format makes it possible to distribute content without a browser, using a software designed to read RSS feeds. Despite this, it is possible to use the same browser to view RSS content. The latest versions of major browsers can read RSS feeds without additional software. RSS is part of the family of XML formats developed specifically for all types of sites that are updated frequently and through which you can share information and use it on other sites or programs. This is known as re-organize web site.
There are three types of RSS and its initials acquire a different meaning depending on the specification used:
-
Rich Site Summary. (RSS 0.91)
-
RDF Site Summary. (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
-
Really Simple Syndication. (RSS 2.0)
The RSS file is rewritten automatically when there is an update on the contents of the website. Accessing the RSS file is impossible to know if they have updated the content and how news texts, but without the need to access the site except to read the extended version.
