RDF Site Summary (RSS) is catching on as one of the most widely used XML formats on the Web. Find out how to create and use RSS files and learn what they can do for you. See why companies like Netscape, Userland, and Moreover use RSS to distribute and syndicate article summaries and headlines. This article includes sample code that demonstrates elements of an RSS file, plus a Perl example using the module XML::RSS.

What exactly are these RSS files?
RSS files are metadata. Until you've used them or seen an example, it may not be easy to understand what RSS files are, but they are easy to create. An RSS file commonly contains four main types of elements: channel, image, items, and text input. These elements are easy to identify and code, as the example in Listing 1 demonstrates. An example of an item within an RSS 0.91 file, Listing 1 contains three easily identifiable parts: a title, a link, and a description.

In headline collections published as results of RSS file aggregations, HTML normally renders the specified title as a headline. The title usually also serves as a link, using the URL listed in the link element. Finally, the description is normally displayed as a summary of the article underneath the headline.
