Rss Structure – how to develop own feed

To create own feed is very easy and fast.
At first, we must create an XML file, and then write into this:

This is the heading, where you can change every element.
Between “description” and “”, you’ll write the items:

Obviously, here too you can change every element into what you want.
This will be your own feed:

RssC 1.0

WOW! Finally I have resolved the problem and I have released the first version of RssC: RssC 1.0!!!!
This program reads RSS files through an XML files like this:

For now, only “title”, “link” and “description” items are supported. In the future, I want to add some new items like “author” or “pubDate”.

Rss Structure – part 2

In this “lesson”, we’ll talk about the heading of the RSS XML file.
It’s very simple and easy to develop to create own RSS feed with a complete heading.

The heading is useful to classify your feed, giving it a title and a description.

The next part of the course will explain like developing own feed.
PS: I have continued my project, but I have a problem with a class, the “Rss” class, that contains all information of an item.

Rss structure - part 1

[From Wikipedia]RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.
When we read an RSS, the reader parses an XML files, where you can find several items, correspondents to the several titles of the feed.
Every item is structured in this way:



This structure is very simple and it can be useful in two cases:
• To read XML documents that contains RSS structure;
• To self-write RSS files, for a blog or a website.
In the part 2, we’ll talk about the heading of the XML file. My interesting for this argument is derived from a new software that I’m writing, RssC. This program read RSS by a XML file.
