RSS

维基百科，自由的百科全书

RSS是一种用于网上新闻频道、博客（weblogs）和其他Web内容的数据交换规范，起源于網景通訊公司（Netscape）的推技术（push technology），將訂戶訂閱的內容傳送給他們的通訊協同格式（Protocol）。RSS可以是以下三個解釋的其中一個：

Really Simple Syndication（RSS 2.0）

RDF （Resource Description Framework） Site Summary（RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0）

Rich Site Summary （RSS 0.9 and 1.0）

但其實這三個解釋都是指同一種企業聯合組織（Syndication）的技術。

目前RSS规范的主要版本有0.91、1.0和2.0。

0.91版和1.0版完全不同，风格不同，制定标准的人也不同。0.91版和2.0版一脉相承。1.0版更靠拢XML标准。現時世界多数知名新闻社网站都提供RSS订阅支持。

[编辑] 为什么使用RSS？

RSS讓網站能夠製造內容摘要，並讓用戶以不同的方式瀏覽這些摘要。

如果没有RSS，用户可能需要每天去登陆某个网站（如雅虎）去浏览已更新的新闻，这可能是一件非常浪费时间的事情。目前已经有很多网站向用户提供了
免费的RSS饋送（RSS
feed）。那么，用户就不必每天登陆到该网站检查更新的新闻，他们只需要下载一个RSS阅读器，然后将他感兴趣的网站提供的新闻RSS饋送添加到这个阅
读器，在本地电脑上运行阅读器就可以查看到新闻的更新内容。
