How to set up RSS feed? | Qomon Help & Ressouce Center

🧩 RSS Feed Structure

This feed follows the RSS 2.0 specification with a few extensions (atom, slash).

It includes a root <rss> element, a <channel> section (feed metadata), and multiple <item> elements representing individual articles.

🗂️ 1. <channel> — Feed Metadata

Element	Description
`<title>`	The feed’s name (usually the website or publication name)
`<description>`	A short summary of the feed
`<pubDate>`	Date when the feed was generated
`<generator>`	The software used to create the feed
`<link>`	The main website URL
`<atom:link>`	A self-reference link to the RSS feed itself

📰 2. <item> — Individual Article

Each <item> represents one article. Here’s how each tag maps to our app’s parsing model:

App Field	RSS Source	Notes
id	`<guid>` or `<link>`	Unique identifier (usually the article URL)
title	`<title>`	Article title
description	`<description>`	Short HTML excerpt (often wrapped in CDATA)
content	`<description>` or `<content:encoded>`	Full HTML content, if available
published	`<pubDate>` or `<published>`	Publication date (RFC822 format)
links	`<link>`	Main article link
categories	`<category>`	Article categories or tags
authors	`<dc:creator>` or `<author>`	Author(s), if present
enclosures	`<enclosure>`	Attached media (e.g., cover image)

🖼️ Example Parsed Output

Given this RSS snippet:

<item>   
<title>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</title>   
<author> 			
<name>Author</name> 			
<uri><http://example.wordpress.com></uri> 	
</author>   
<description><![CDATA[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.]]></description>   
<pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:53:22 +0200</pubDate>  
<link><https://example.com/posts/1></link>   
<guid><https://example.com/posts/1></guid>   
<category scheme="<https://example.com/>" term="Lorem Ipsum" />   <enclosure type="image/jpeg" length="1" url="<https://example.com/img1.webp>"/> 
</item>

Mobile app would parse it as:

{   
"id": "<https://example.com/posts/1>",   
"title": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",   
"description": "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>",   
"content": "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>",   
"published": "Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:53:22 +0200",   
"links": [{ "url": "<https://example.com/posts/1>" }],   
"categories": [{ "name": "Lorem Ipsum" }],   
"authors": [{name: "Author"}],   
"enclosures": ["<https://example.com/img1.webp>"], 
}
