So What is "Feed to JavaScript"?
An RSS Feed is a dynamically generated summary (in XML format) of information or news published on other web sites- so when the published RSS changes, your web site will be automatically changed too.
It is a rather simple technology that allows you, the humble web page designer, to have this content displayed in your own web page, without having to know a lick about XML!
Think of it as a box you define on your web page that is able to update itself, whenever the source of the information changes, your web page does too, without you having to do a single thing to it. Check out some of the examples where ordinary people are already using this.
This Feed2JS web site provides you a free service that can do all the hard work for you-- in 3 easy steps:
- Find some RSS source, the web address for the feed.
- Use our simple tool to build the JavaScript command that will display it
- Optionally style it up to look pretty.
That's it!
Please keep in mind that feeds are cached on http://feed2js.asu.edu for 60 minutes, so if you add content to your RSS feed, the updates will take at least an hour to appear in any other web site using Feed2JS to display that feed.
