RSS

RSS 2.0

RSS 2.0 is the dominant XML-based syndication format, stewarded by the RSS Advisory Board. A feed consists of a root element wrapping a single with required title, link, and description, plus a sequence of elements describing each piece of syndicated content. The spec is intentionally frozen — extensions happen through XML namespaces rather than core changes.
