XML with RSS
The integration of XML and RSS will be discussed in this section of the XML chapter.
The first line of your XML - RSS document must declare the XML type, in this case it is 1.0. Write the first line of code as you see below. Remember to close this tag later on.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
The second line of your XML - RSS document must declare the RSS type, use 2.0 for simplicity purposes. Write the line of code as you see below. Remember to close this tag later on.
<rss version="2.0>
The next lines of code in your XML - RSS document will be the channel. A channel follows the structure below.
<channel> <title> </title> <link> </link> <description> </description> <item> <title> </title> <link> </link> <description> </description> </item> <item> <title> </title> <link> </link> <description> </description> </item> etcetera... </channel>
The channel has three elements, the title, link, and the description. The channel is basically used to describe the RSS feed that comes in from a specific website.
The items of the channel are the actual RSS feeds that come in. You can have as many items as you want.
Keep in mind that your XML - RSS file is still an XML document which means that you should always keep in mind case sensitivity, closing tags, and proper nesting.
