Really Simple Discovery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Really Simple Discovery (RSD) is an XML format and a publishing convention for making services exposed by blog, or other web software, discoverable by client software. It is a way to reduce the information required to set up editing/blogging software to three well known elements:

Any other critical settings should either be defined in the RSD file related to the blog, or discoverable using the information provided.

[edit] History

RSD was proposed by Daniel Berlinger in the Really Simple Discoverability 1.0.

[edit] Format

To make use of RSD, the owner of a site places a link tag in the head section of the homepage which indicates the location of the RSD file. An example:

 <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://whereever the rsd.xml lives." />

If this tag is missing or the file is not found, clients should look in the default location which is a file named rsd.xml in the webroot. For example:

 http://example.com/rsd.xml
