7.2. Atom
Atom is the newest entry on the syndication scene. Since its inception in mid-2003, Atom has received quite a bit of coverage and usage. Atom, unlike RSS, is a strict specification. One of the problems of the RSS specification is the lack of information on how a developer handles HTML markup in its elements. Atom's specification addresses this issue and gives developers strict rules they must follow, as well as a host of new features, enabling developers to choose the content type of an element and specify attributes that designate how a specific element should be handled. With such features, it is no wonder powerhouses like Google and Movable Type are getting behind Atom.
Atom resembles RSS in the sense that they both have the same data constructs. Most of Atom's element names differ from RSS, and the document structure is slightly different:
