RSS

This article is a stub. You can help the microformats.org wiki by expanding it.

RSS is a legacy XML format for syndicating typically time-stamped content from web sites. RSS is an acronym that that stands for: Rich Site Summary (originally RDF Site Summary, often dubbed Really Simple Syndication)[1]. Atom is an alternative XML format for feeds.

There are many problems consuming RSS feeds.

Instead of publishing/consuming RSS:

• Publish h-entry in your HTML. See http://indiewebcamp.com/ for more
• Consume h-entry, e.g. with a microformats2 parser
