Atom vs. RSS
According to this page, W3C may take over the Atom spec. It seems to me that unless RSS gets that kind of standardized support, it will be overtaken by Atom. Anybody know what's now happening with RSS...

That's difficult to say. Winer, the force behind RSS, knows how to move a standard forward. He has indicated of late that he (Winer) is willing. http://www.kbcafe.com/iBLOGthere4iM/?guid=20040409154040...

It seems like RSS is winning in the marketplace, though. The Atom crew has a real battle to replace RSS, even with Google/Blogger pushing Atom.

RSS has a numbers advantage, but Atom seems to be popular in the dev community which is where things grow.

I dunno, there's now a lot of mainstream companies using RSS like New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, BBC, ESPN, etc. And of course RSS is the leader in the blogging world too. Things grow in...

This is true, but Atom's dev community is quite strong. It includes Tim Bray, author of XML and Sam Ruby, director of Apache. They've already convinced Google to abandon RSS in favor of. Atom also...

Thing is that rendering the format is the easy part. Its consuming the format that's more complicated. Of course, its gotta be rendered right in the first place. I think if enough momentum gets behind...

Agree in full. Although iM one of the original contributors to the Atom project, having written the original Atom XSD and WSDL, I have always said that I'd rather just to RSS, an opinion I've held from...

As I am pretty ignorant about Atom's technical details, but I read that the spec has some behaviorial aspects via an API. That seems to be a competitive advantage in some respects, though it depends...

The API is likely the strongest argument for Atom. IMHO, the REST model is clearly a better way to go then the XML-RPC model, simply because an XML grammar can be used in REST and not in XML-RPC. What...

SOAP is renowned for its complexity. Its a heavyweight API that tries to do everything, so simple tasks become harder. I think people are more likely to start simpler, then move up to SOAP as...

SOAP was once called Simple Object Access Protocol and there has been little change to the basic protocol since. The complexity in SOAP occurs when using the many related specs, not in the basic...
View ArticleRe: Atom vs. RSS
I disagree. One of the Ses in RSS (depends) and the S in SOAP stand for Simple (or it did). RSS and SOAP are simple. XML-RPC and Atom are complex. http://www.kbcafe.com/iBLOGthere4iM/?guid=20040607035753

By "The protocol", were you referring to RSS or Atom. Cause RSS was designed to be simple and Atom is definately not!
View ArticleRe: Atom vs. RSS
rss and xml-rpc are simple, designed by a few developers, and take the "good enough" approach atom and soap are complex, designed by committees, and take the "kitchen sink" approach at least, that's...
