The role and significance of RSS

RSS (Really Simple Syndication: simple information aggregation) is undoubtedly the most popular name concept that people are paying attention to and discussing on the Internet. but what is the role of RSS and its significance.

One of the most common understandings of this technology is that websites can aggregate information in RSS, after that, you can send it to the RSS reader for users to conveniently read and obtain website information. from this we can see that most of our understanding of RSS is that it is a way to provide data for RSS readers.

Sending RSS output to an RSS reader is correct without any doubt. but in fact, it is only an embodiment of RSS in specific applications. In addition, RSS was not designed to provide data to RSS readers, at that time, there was no RSS reader.
Therefore, this article describes the fundamental causes and characteristics of RSS for websites and the Internet, as well as its significance and impact. so that we can explore the replacement of RSS to a greater extent, as well as more benefits to us.

RSS background.
On the Internet, websites produce a large amount of information every day. That is to say, every day, websites are an information production base. however, it has a major defect, that is, each website or system is independent of each other and its own data cannot be shared. in the past, to solve this problem and achieve sharing, we can only achieve it by copying-> pasting. obviously, this greatly limits the maximum embodiment of the information value of each website. shared bandwidth also increases the cost of sharing. however, information sharing and exchange between websites is becoming increasingly apparent as the amount of information increases.
Based on the actual problems and needs. netscape introduces an information synchronization technology, the RSS technology we are talking about now, in order to solve this problem. because the information table display standard adopted by RSS first complies with the standard XML definition, and XML is widely accepted and an open Information Representation Method. at the same time, RSS uses XML standards to define a set of information representation methods suitable for various websites, and the standards it defines are quite concise. in this way, each website can output information in a standard way, and it can also use a standard resolution (read) method to conveniently obtain information shared by other websites.

Functions of RSS 　　
From the background of RSS and the technology used. now, we can clearly see what role it will play on various websites or systems. its most fundamental role is the standard exchange of information between websites. with this kind of exchange, we can easily and flexibly integrate isolated websites to facilitate information circulation and truly turn the Internet into an interconnected network system. at the same time, it maximizes the information value, brings richer applications to websites, and improves user experience. so it can be said that RSS will play a huge and far-reaching role in the current Internet.

Significance and impact of RSS on the Internet　　
The important role of RSS has been seen. Based on these features, we can transform or change some of the features and patterns of the original Internet applications, making its applications more flexible and diverse. For example, what we have previously learned is that using an RSS reader, you can obtain information from a website. In addition, we can also change the information source of each topic on the website from the original edit supply to the RSS feed. For example, http: // response. As long as the other party's information is updated, it will be immediately displayed. Of course, this is only two concrete manifestations of RSS. Based on its characteristics, we should be able to implement the application in a very way, mainly because it will be different from the application in the Internet mode.
