What should be in an rss feed




















You can check this list on your own, or you can subscribe to the feed so updates will show up in your own feed reader. This keeps you apprised of updates immediately. These are posted in chronological order so that the top entry is the latest published entry. The RSS feed shows you a title, description, and link back to the original content. When you find something you like, you can click through for the full content. The RSS aggregator checks websites for new content automatically.

The aggregator even keeps track of what you have and have not read by listing the number of articles or pieces of content for each website you are following that has not been seen. This helps you quickly scan content from the websites that interest you. More and more, websites are making this process simple for you.

We can go in one of two ways here: if we don't have a namespace-aware XML parser, we can blindly assume that the feed uses the standard prefixes and default namespace and look for item elements and dc:creator elements within them. This will actually work in a large number of real-world cases; most RSS feeds use the default namespace and the same prefixes for common modules like Dublin Core. This is a horrible hack, though.

There's no guarantee that a feed won't use a different prefix for a namespace which would be perfectly valid XML and RDF. If or when it does, we'll miss it. If we have a namespace-aware XML parser at our disposal, we can construct a more elegant solution that handles both RSS 0. We can look for items in no namespace; if that fails, we can look for items in the RSS 1.

Not shown, but RSS 0. So what we really need is a list of namespaces to search. Less obvious but still important, the item elements are outside the channel element.

In RSS 0. So we can't be picky about where we look for items. Finally, you'll notice there is an extra items element within the channel. It's only useful to RDF parsers, and we're going to ignore it and assume that the order of the items within the RSS feed is given by their order of the item elements. But what about RSS 2. Luckily, once we've written code to handle RSS 0. Here's the RSS 2.

As this example shows, RSS 2. Like RSS 0. If our code is liberal enough to handle the differences between RSS 0. Log out. Smart Home. Social Media. More Button Icon Circle with three vertical dots.
