RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works – such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video – in a standardized format. An RSS document or web feed includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content quickly and automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favoured websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. By clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates it finds. It provides a user interface to monitor and read any updated feeds.
