** 30. The backend files **

The XML/RSS format was designed to “export” a list of the most recent
articles published on a website. This allows different automatic tools to
retrieve and display the title and descriptions of the last updates on a
website.
The original use of this format was the content syndication: a third party
website displays (automatically) the last updates of a website. SPIP, like
many other content management systems (CMS), is able to syndicate and
display the information published by third party websites (via the
“Referencing a site” feature).
Another recent application of this format gives visitors the oportunity to
“subscribe” to a website and be notified of any updates to the site.
