What is syndication?

A family of formats used to publish documents that are frequently updated content on the Internet. An RSS feed can contain a summary of the contents of a web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to receive automatic updates of their favorite sites.

RSS is a family of web feed formats encoded in XML. It is used to provide frequent updates subscribers. The format allows you to distribute content without a browser, using software designed to read these RSS feeds (aggregator). Nevertheless, it is possible to use a browser to view RSS content. The latest versions of major browsers can read RSS feeds without additional software. RSS is part of the family of XML formats developed specifically for all types of sites that are updated regularly and through which information can be shared and used on other web sites or programs. This is known as retransmission or syndication web site (a mistranslation, but very common).
