RSS Standards
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) has 4 most commonly used standards and they are mentioned below:
(i) RSS 0.91
RSS 0.91 is the oldest and the most common RSS standard in use today. This standard of RSS was developed by Netscape tem led by Dan Libby in July 1999. This standard was pull based, which meant that the user would have to pull the feed from the source.
(ii) RSS 0.92
RSS 0.92 was released on December 25th, 2000 and was XML-based just like its predecessor. This standard was primarily pull-based but had a facility to publish and subscribe as well.
(iii) RSS 1.0
RSS 1.0 provides much richer metadata and RSS 1.0 attains this capability thanks to the addition of RDF, namespaces and modularization. Although this adds a lot of complexity to the standard, its benefits justify it.
(iv) RSS 2.0
RSS 2.0 provides more modularization and therefore increases the complexity even further.
