<h2>What part of the API you should be using<aname="What_part_of_the_API_you_should_be_using"></a></h2>
<p>Rome API allows developers to work with classes that closely resemble a particular syndication feed type. For example, the Channel class for RSS feeds and the Feed class for Atom feeds. All the Synd* classes, which leverage the RSS and Atom specific classes, are the bridge to go from one syndication type to another.</p>
<p>For day to day coding, we found ourselves using the <b>Synd*</b> classes (in <b>com.sun.syndication.feed.synd</b>, <b>com.sun.syndication.feed.module</b> and <b>com.sun.syndication.io</b> packages) as we need to do applications that understand the different syndication feed types. And it is much simpler to work with a higher and independent abstraction.</p></div>
