srss (Simple-RSS) is a fast and simple command line RSS/ATOM/JSON feed reader. It seeks inspiration from newsboat.
There are a number of different file formats which information publishers use. The most frequently ones are RSS and Atom. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. It is a defined standard based on XML with the specific purpose of delivering updates to web-based content. In other words, RSS is a Web content syndication format. Using this standard, webmasters provide headlines and fresh content in a succinct manner. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS readers and news aggregators to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one centralized program or location. Atom is a format which is similar to RSS in many respects, but offers a number of improvements.
This is free and open source software.
