RSS (Really Simple Syndication) or Rich Site Summary is a format of data for delivering regularly changing web content.Without RSS, users will have to check the site daily for new updates that is very time-consuming.Since RSS data is small and fast-loading, it can easily be used with services like as cell phones or PDA‘s also.

An RSS document (which is called a “feed”, “web feed”, or “channel”) includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and author information.

A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs.They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favourite websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place.

As RSS files are essentially XML formatted plain text, the RSS file itself is relatively easily read both by automated processes and by human.This could be placed on any appropriate communication protocol for file retrieval, such as http or ftp, and reading software would use the information to present a neat display to the end user.
