I have a website that is requesting content delievery from me. The problem is they want the content delieveried in the way this website recommends. http://www.newsml.org/pages/intro_main.php I have a RSS feed on my site but they seem to be the same thing. Can anyone tell me the differnece between the XML and RSS feed. I know I sound like an idoit I am juse really confused. Thanks.
What kind of content delivery are they wanting from you? If it's news, then I can see this being useful, but if it's just a listing of posts/non-news articles/content, then I'd go with an RSS feed.
It is news. But I dont understand the how the XML and RSS feed are different. Are RSS feeds not in XML?
RSS feeds are XML meta-data, yes. The people who want your content syndicated merely want to use a format I for one have never heard of before.
RSS is a subset of XML, which, in turn, is a subset of SGML. They might be able to use your RSS, or they might have some kind of proprietory XML format (that's the beauty of XML - eXtensible Markup Language - anyone can create their own language to fit their unique needs). If latter is the case, you will have to rearrange your data according to their format.
