RSS (standing for Really Simple Syndication) is a method of viewing website content like software updates or news in a standard format.

The RSS XML format can be interpreted by web browsers and by specialized apps capable of displaying the news and updates in an way that is easier to understand by end-users.

RSS reading apps allow users to create RSS link lists and adjust how often the app needs to check for new content.

These tyoe of apps also offer their users the possibility to export their lists (OPML is the most frequent format) that can be imported within other applications.
