...instead of using the Atom syndication format?
…而不是使用Atom联合格式?
Atom is a well-defined, general-purpose XML syndication format. RSS is fractured into four different versions. All the major feed readers have supported Atom for as long as I can remember, so why isn't its use more prevalent?
Atom是一种定义良好的通用XML联合格式。RSS被分为四个不同的版本。从我记事起，所有主要的提要阅读器都支持Atom，所以为什么它的使用不是更普遍呢?
Worst of all are sites that provide feeds in both formats - what's the point?!
最糟糕的是提供两种格式的提要的站点——有什么意义?
- UPDATE (18 August): Interestingly, this site itself is using Atom for its feeds rather than RSS.
- 更新(8月18日):有趣的是，这个站点本身使用Atom作为它的提要，而不是RSS。

The fundamental thing that the Atom creators didn't understand (and that the Atom supporters still don't understand), is that Atom isn't somehow separate from RSS. There's this idea that RSS fractured, and that somehow Atom fixes that problem. But it doesn't. Atom is just another RSS splinter. A new name doesn't change the fact that it's just one more standard competing to do the same job, a job for which any of the competing standards are sufficient.
Atom创建者不理解(Atom支持者仍然不理解)的根本问题是，Atom并不是某种程度上与RSS分开的。有一种观点认为RSS崩溃了，而Atom以某种方式解决了这个问题。但它不是。Atom只是RSS的另一个分支。一个新的名字并不能改变一个事实，那就是为了做同样的工作，它只是一个又一个标准的竞争，一个任何竞争标准都足以胜任的工作。
No one outside a fairly small group of people care at all which standard is used. They just want it to work. Atom, RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, RSS 401(k), whatever. As long as it works, the users are happy. The RSS "brand" very much defines the entire feed category, though, so on the rare occasion that someone does know enough to choose, they will tend to choose RSS, because it's got "the name." They will also tend to choose RSS 2.0, because it's got the bigger number.
除了一小群人之外，没有人关心使用哪个标准。他们只是想让它发挥作用。Atom, RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, RSS 401(k)，等等。只要它有效，用户就会很高兴。RSS“品牌”在很大程度上定义了整个提要类别，因此，在某些人知道足够多的情况下，他们倾向于选择RSS，因为它有“名称”。他们也倾向于选择RSS 2.0，因为它有更大的数字。
RSS, and especially RSS 2.0, are very much entrenched in the feed "industry." Atom hasn't taken off because it doesn't bring much except a new name. Why switch away from RSS when it works just fine? And why even bother using Atom on new projects if RSS is sufficient? Switching to a new feed format mostly means extra time spent learning the new format.
RSS，尤其是RSS 2.0，在提要“行业”中根深蒂固。原子还没有起飞，因为它除了一个新名字外没有带来什么。为什么要在RSS正常工作的情况下放弃它呢?如果RSS足够的话，为什么还要在新项目中使用Atom呢?切换到新的提要格式通常意味着花更多的时间学习新的格式。
If nothing else Apple's exclusive use of RSS 2.0 for podcasts means that RSS 2.0 is here for the foreseeable future.
如果没有别的东西，苹果在播客上使用RSS 2.0，就意味着在可预见的未来，RSS 2.0将会出现。

If you are asking why the Atom syndication format is not more widely adopted than the various versions of the RSS format, I think it would be difficult to come to an objective answer. A variety of factors like the amount of investment in RSS prior to Atom, the relative ease in implementing RSS versus Atom, and 'marketing' all come into play.
如果您想知道为什么Atom联合格式没有比RSS格式的不同版本得到更广泛的采用，我认为很难得出客观的答案。各种因素都在起作用，比如在Atom之前对RSS的投入，实现RSS相对于Atom的相对容易程度，以及“营销”。
I can, however, think of a few things that should be considered when choosing what syndication format to use in representing resources:
然而，在选择表示资源的联合格式时，我可以考虑以下几点:
Atom
原子
- Atom is an official Internet standards track protocol.
- Atom是一种官方的Internet标准跟踪协议。
- Atom has a registered content media type for its feed and entry representations.
- Atom为其提要和条目表示拥有一个已注册的内容媒体类型。
- Without the use of syndication extensions Atom tends to be a more robust format, especially in the link relations arena.
- 如果不使用联合扩展，Atom往往是一种更健壮的格式，特别是在链接关系领域。
- Representing resources using Atom allows you to leverage the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) to provide a RESTful API.
- 使用Atom表示资源允许您利用Atom发布协议(AtomPub)来提供RESTful API。
- The RFC-3339 DateTime format used by Atom is easy to parse.
- Atom使用的RFC-3339 DateTime格式很容易解析。
- There is only one deprecated version of Atom (0.3) you might conceivably have to support.
- 您可能需要支持Atom(0.3)的一个已弃用版本。
- Implementing Atom typically takes more time to do correctly than RSS, as there are more restrictions and the technical specification can be a bit dense.
- 实现Atom通常要比RSS花费更多的时间，因为有更多的限制，而且技术规范可能有点复杂。
RSS
RSS
- RSS is a relatively simple format to implement in a short amount of time.
- RSS是一种在短时间内实现的相对简单的格式。
- There are not as many constraints/rules placed on RSS as there are on Atom.
- RSS上的约束/规则没有Atom上的那么多。
- RSS is not an official Internet standards track protocol. However, RSS has enough adoption that you can reasonably expect it to be consumable by a variety of clients.
- RSS不是官方的互联网标准跟踪协议。但是，RSS有足够的应用，您可以合理地期望它可以由各种客户机使用。
- As there are quite a few 'deprecated' versions of RSS, you might conceivably have to support RSS feeds that vary quite a bit in their formatting details.
- 由于RSS有相当多的“不赞成”版本，您可能不得不支持格式细节有很大差异的RSS提要。
- RSS does not have a registered media content type. However enough publishers use the same unregistered content type that it is almost a defacto MIME type.
- RSS没有注册的媒体内容类型。但是，有足够多的发布者使用相同的未注册内容类型，它几乎是一种事实上的MIME类型。
- The RFC-822 DateTime format utilized by RSS is more difficult to parse as this particular timestamp format allows a lot more possible variation in the format that is still considered valid.
- RSS使用的RFC-822 DateTime格式更难解析，因为这种特定的时间戳格式允许在仍然被认为有效的格式中有很多可能的变化。
- You will need to extend the RSS format using a variety of published syndication extensions when you start trying to represent resources with complex link relations.
- 当您开始尝试用复杂的链接关系来表示资源时，您需要使用各种已发布的联合扩展来扩展RSS格式。
I think it is important to remember that to the end-user, what syndication format you choose to use is not very important, as most feed readers and browsers handle either format equally well. The choice of syndication format however can be very important to the developer, as there are technical details that can impact the software development side of things.
我认为重要的是要记住，对于最终用户来说，您选择使用的联合格式并不十分重要，因为大多数提要阅读器和浏览器都同样处理这两种格式。但是，联合格式的选择对开发人员来说是非常重要的，因为有一些技术细节可以影响软件开发方面的内容。

The 'why' was fairly well answered, but I would suggest going forward that developers only implement Atom on sites. There's no reason to have multiple formats for a site available and any modern feed client can now parse Atom feeds.
“为什么”这个问题得到了很好的回答，但我建议开发人员只在站点上实现Atom。没有理由为站点提供多种格式，任何现代提要客户端现在都可以解析Atom提要。
Atom has quite a few technical advantages over RSS and is being widely supported and utilized by major companies such as Google and Microsoft.
与RSS相比，Atom有很多技术优势，并且受到了谷歌和微软等大公司的广泛支持和利用。
As for branding, I don't really care what acronym is used. I think the universal orange broadcast icon or the word "feed" is what people care about. Despite the proliferation of RSS and Atom feeds, I'd say the average web user still has no idea what they are. Looking at it in that way, the whole concept of syndication feeds is still in its infancy.
至于品牌化，我真的不关心缩略词的用法。我认为全球橙色广播图标或“feed”这个词是人们所关心的。尽管RSS和Atom提要大量出现，但一般的web用户仍然不知道它们是什么。从这个角度来看，联合提要的整个概念还处于起步阶段。

For the same reason that every "better" solution did not succeed for mass market. RSS is widely deployed and it solves the same problem Atom is trying to solve.
因为同样的原因，每一个“更好”的解决方案在大众市场上都没有成功。RSS被广泛部署，它解决了Atom试图解决的相同问题。
Personaly, I have a large number of RSS feeds that I generate myself. They are working today and solving a problem. I wonder how you could convince me to rewrite all those feeds to Atom just to use a "better" format.
个人，我有大量的RSS提要，我自己生成。他们今天正在努力解决一个问题。我想知道您如何说服我将所有这些提要重写到Atom以使用“更好”的格式。
Now if you consider how the REST architecture is gaining visibility these days because of better and simpler caching and scalability, these are real arguments. I understand that Atom is closely related to the REST hype and it may be the best way to market it. As REST will be gaining visibility, so are its related formats like Atom.
现在，如果您考虑由于更好和更简单的缓存和可伸缩性，REST体系结构最近是如何获得可见性的，这些都是真实的参数。我知道Atom与REST hype密切相关，它可能是最好的营销方式。REST将获得可见性，其相关格式(如Atom)也将获得可见性。

The same reason that people are HTML 4 loose, strict, XHTML transitional, XHTML strict, etc. Legacy code / working with what you already know.
同样的原因是HTML 4松散、严格、XHTML过渡、XHTML严格等等。遗留代码/使用您已经知道的东西。
Besides, both formats have their merits. Better to support a couple different formats than have one be-all-end-all-subscribe-to-everything feed that becomes bloated.
此外，两种格式都有各自的优点。支持几个不同的格式要比拥有一个所有用户都订阅的feed变得臃肿要好。

Because for the majority of purposes either will work, and RSS has the advantage of being the acronym that defines the category.
因为在大多数情况下，这两种方法都是可行的，而且RSS的优势在于它是定义类别的首字母缩略词。
Beyond that you would have to email individual sites and ask them.
除此之外，你还得给个人网站发邮件，问问他们。

Vincent, I'm not suggesting that anyone rewrite existing RSS feeds just for the sake of it, that would be a big waste of time! In terms of RSS being the acronym that defines the category, I'm guessing that most users now identify with the orange feed icon, rather than the specific flavour of XML behind it.
Vincent，我并不是说任何人仅仅为了这个原因而重写现有的RSS提要，那是在浪费时间!说到RSS是定义类别的首字母缩略词，我猜大多数用户现在都认同橙色的提要图标，而不是它背后的XML的特定风格。

I think RSS has a better marketable name :-) RSS is something easy to say, serious-sounding, and virtually senseless. Really sounds like a silver-bullet technology. "Atom" word has sense, but hardly there are a lot of people associating this with some cosmic hi-tech, more usual associations are students, high-school physics, *s' weaponsm hypeware "web 2.0". A very small qty of people out there really corellate it with what it really is and why has it got it's name - an atomic-precise descriptive structured knowledge representation framework. If I say "RSS" in non-IT-pro crowd I've got a very good chance to be instantly understood what I mean today, but if I say "Atom" - hardly anyone will get it any of that fast and clear. RSS is de-facto a name for syndication feeds. That's why think it can be a good idea to label it RSS while technically giving 100% Atom and only Atom - software does not care oat's drawn on a button and end-users will get what they've meant to get. IMHO.
我认为RSS有一个更好的营销名称:-)RSS很容易说，听起来很严肃，实际上毫无意义。听起来真的像一种银弹技术。“原子”这个词是有意义的，但很少有人把它和一些宇宙高科技联系在一起，更常见的联想是学生、高中物理、共产主义者的武器炒作“web 2.0”。只有一小部分人真正把它和它的真正含义以及它的名字联系起来——一个原子精确描述的结构化知识表示框架。如果我在非it -pro人群中说“RSS”，我有很好的机会立即理解我今天的意思，但是如果我说“Atom”——几乎没有人会很快明白。RSS实际上是联合提要的名称。这就是为什么我们认为给它贴上RSS标签是个好主意，同时在技术上给它贴上100% Atom和only Atom的标签——软件不关心oat在按钮上的绘制，最终用户会得到他们想要的东西。恕我直言。

There are a lot of RSS feed readers out there that people are used to using, and most importantly, RSS is very well known and has been around much longer. Why mess with something if it works?

Because the developers of sed sights got reemed from their marketing manager that they were "excluding" people by not providing rss. Since Mr. Marketing has never heard of Atom, you just provide both.
因为sed sights的开发人员从他们的营销经理那里得到的评价是，他们不提供rss，从而“排除”了其他人。由于Marketing先生从来没有听说过Atom，所以您只提供这两种。
If you are restfully implementing it, its not a big deal to just do both and not get yelled at by other departments.
如果你正在不安地执行它，那么只做这两件事而不被其他部门骂也没什么大不了的。

RSS is more simple, that's where its strength is. Atom is better defined, yes, but that's the problem: they made it easy to write a very complex feed when at the end of the day you want a simplified summary.
RSS更简单，这就是它的优势所在。Atom有更好的定义，是的，但这就是问题所在:当您需要简化摘要时，它们使编写非常复杂的提要变得很容易。
Why do so many people prefer RSS ? It's easy and gets the job done. You can edit it by hand; not so easy with Atom. Have you ever tried to write a feed reader ?
为什么这么多人喜欢RSS ?这很容易做到。你可以手工编辑它;原子不那么容易。你试过写提要阅读器吗?
IMHO, the only thing Atom did good was multiple enclosures.
对了，原子唯一做得好的就是多外壳。
Why do some websites offer two feeds, RSS and Atom ? Because they can and because some ancient feed reader may not support Atom.
为什么有些网站提供RSS和Atom这两种提要?因为他们可以而且因为一些古老的阅读器可能不支持Atom。
