The first major element is channel
which contains
the following elements:
title
- the title of the channellink
- the link to the channel Web sitedescription
- short description of the channel
An RSS channel may also contain an image
element as in the example above which contains the following elements:
title
- the text describing the imageurl
- the URL of the imagelink
- the URL that the image is linked to
The item
element contains the real channel
content which is comprised of a title
and a
link
element. An RSS file may contain up to
15 items.
An RSS 0.9 file may alternatively contain a textinput
element which allows users to type a string into a HTML text input field and
submit it via the HTTP GET method to the URL specified in the
link
element.
Next, we will examine RSS 0.91 which was released by Netscape in July of 1999.
