Where to Find the RSS Specification

The RSS (Really Simple Syndication) specification is a widely used format for distributing web content as a stream of items. It was first published in 1999 by UserLand Software and has since become an open standard maintained by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).

The RSS specification can be found on the official W3C website at . It is available in several formats, including XML, HTML, and Atom, which is a more recent version of RSS that includes additional features such as support for comments and trackbacks.

The RSS specification defines the structure and elements of an RSS feed, including the headings, descriptions, links, and other metadata associated with each item in the feed. It also provides guidelines for parsing and validating RSS feeds to ensure that they conform to the standard.

In addition to the official W3C specification, there are many resources available online that provide more detailed information about RSS and its various implementations. These include tutorials, guides, and examples of how to create and consume RSS feeds using different tools and platforms.
