XML
XML is a verbose but human readable data format.
RSS
RSS is an XML document that is made to show a list of items that a user could subscribe to. This is what podcasts and blogs are built with, and many services like Youtube and Reddit still use these. It's a really effective way to deliver content to your readers in a simple and effective way.
The below script is the most minimal possible RSS feed I made that passes the RSS validator[1].
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Title</title>
<description>Description</description>
