About

Pingback is an XML-RPC-based protocol that allows websites to notify each other when one links to another.

A website can advertise its Pingback endpoint through an HTML link element or the X-Pingback HTTP header, allowing compatible blogging platforms and clients to send notifications automatically.

Really Simple Discovery (RSD) is an XML format that allows client software to discover services provided by web publishing systems.

It helps clients find endpoints for reading, editing, and interacting with website content through APIs.
