What an RSS Feed is and how it works?

What is an RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It refers to files easily read by a computer called XML files that automatically update information.

This information is fetched by a user’s RSS feed reader that converts the files into the latest updates from websites in an easy-to-read format. It feeds you headlines, summaries, update notices, and links back to articles on your favorite website’s page.

This content is distributed in real-time so that the top results on the RSS feed are always the latest published content for a website.

And How it works?
