4.9 Creating RSS Feeds with RSS.NET
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication (or Rich Site Summary, depending on which version you are using). It is a simple XML format that is used to publish content for consumption by various applications. RSS has taken the technology world by storm, rapidly going from being a fringe technology to being supported by almost every major Internet site, including Yahoo!, Google, and even NYTimes.com.
RSS is a relatively simple XML format, so implementing and exposing RSS feeds from your application is fairly straightforward. RSS.NET is an open source library that makes it even easier to publish RSS feeds by giving you a simple object model so you don’t have to actually work with XML. (Who wants to work with XML, anyway?) RSS.NET also handles the small differences between the various versions of RSS, including 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0.1.
