What is an RSS file?

An RSS file is a Rich Site Summary file saved in an XML-based syndication format. It contains news headlines and other web content, along with metadata such as the author's name and the publish date. RSS files are used by many websites to distribute information that is updated via RSS in an efficient, text-only format.

Users can subscribe to RSS feeds to receive timely, up-to-the-minute news stories and blog entries. Web addresses that end in .rss will open as an RSS feed in web browsers that support RSS. For example, if you enter https://www.reddit.com/.rss in your web browser's address bar, you can view Reddit's RSS feed.

How to open an RSS file

If you've downloaded an RSS file, you can open it in any text editor or web browser to view the XML it contains.

To subscribe to a website's RSS feed, you must typically click the website's RSS button or enter the website's RSS feed address into your RSS feed reader.
