RSS（简易信息聚合，也叫聚合内容）是一种描述和同步网站内容的格式。RSS可以是以下三个解释的其中一个： Really Simple Syndication；RDF (Resource Description Framework) Site Summary； Rich Site Summary。但其实这三个解释都是指同一种Syndication的技术。RSS目前广泛用于网上新闻频道，blog和wiki。使用RSS订阅能更快地获取信息，网站提供RSS输出，有利于让用户获取网站内容的最新更新。网络用户可以在客户端借助于支持RSS的聚合工具软件，在不打开网站内容页面的情况下阅读支持RSS输出的网站内容。
从技术上来说一个RSS文件就是一段规范的XML数据，该文件一般以rss，xml或者rdf作为后缀，下面是一段 rss 文件的内容示例：
