What is RSS ?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS Feed for a site is a file that  contains the content that site has published. It is usually in XML format. It is updated reguraly with new content from the site. Typically, each site has one RSS file URL. For example - https://hackernoon.com/feed
In some websites, we can also add tags in the RSS Feed URL to get the content of only that specific tag from the website.
