Table of Contents
An RSS document is a XML file which can be used to publish blog entries, news and / or audio and video files. The format of the XML file is specified via the RSS specification which is currently in version must be 2.0.
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (in version 2.0 of the RSS specification).
