Since you’re reading this tutorial on how to convert a Sitemap to RSS, it’s safe to assume that you already know about Sitemaps and RSS feeds. Here’s a quick primer:

A sitemap is an index of webpages of any website. It’s mostly there to help web-crawlers (think Google search bots etc.) crawl your website effectively and discover new (or old) content. Mostly for search engine ranking & discoverability.

An RSS feed is a standard XML file that contains a web-feed of any website. Why standard XML? So that any application can easily read it to display in any format it wants. Why web-feed? So that an application (or an end user) can keep track of updates to a website. E.g. keeping track of a news site using an RSS feed.
