What does RSS file contain ?

Let's have a look at a RSS XML File.

In the top of the file, there is some general metadata. Each post information is within a <item> tag. <title> and <link> contains the title and link of the content respectively. There are generally tags associated with content which tell what is in the post. Like in this case, tags powpeg, rsk, bitcoin etc. enclosed in <category> tag tell about the content of the post. <pubDate> contains the publication date and time of the post.  <dc: creator>  contains information about the author. <content> contains the actual content of the post. These are the some major tags from which we get the main information about the post. We will be extracting this content in the next section.
