Atom Syndication Format Overview

Atom is an XML-based document format that describes lists of related information known as "feeds". Feeds are composed of a number of items, known as "entries", each with an extensible set of attached metadata. For example, each entry has a title. The primary use case that Atom addresses is the syndication of Web content such as weblogs and news headlines to Web sites as well as directly to user agents.

Data Model

Apache Wink provides an Atom Syndication Format data model for consuming and producing Atom Feeds and Atom Entries (application/atom+xml). All of the model classes are located under the org.apache.wink.common.model.atom and org.apache.wink.common.model.synd packages.
