XML feed

XML feed

An XML feed is a normal [[XML]] document tailored for syndication. Common formats include [[RSS]] (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom. The document usually includes subject or article titles, an excerpt, a link to the web page containing the full content, and other useful pieces of meta data. Client Side: Programs have been designed to take advantage of the feed format, displaying a wide range of customizable information to a user that is constantly updated by the content provider. These are commonly called feed aggregators. Most modern web browsers can integrate XML feeds into the browser interface for real-time lists of bookmarks. Server Side: Server-side scripts can also be easily configured to retrieve feed data from other websites and display it using their own style or brand. All mainsteam scripting languages have this capability. This is the technique most often used to display stock prices, news, and other time-sensitive information that comes from many sources on a single web page. Another common server capability is to create feeds. This is functionally no different than generating HTML from a database and displaying it on a web page. Since it is so easy to create feeds, many individuals can publish their content without the help of a publishing firm and without a great cost. Our Practices: We can include the feeds of your choice if you will be having regularly updated content on your website.
