RSS and Atom are both very straightforward. It's just an XML file, so
it's plain text. The Wikipedia page has a list of which elements
inside the file are minimally required vs optional:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#RSS_compared_with_Atom

For example, an RSS needs (at least) 'title' and 'description' and
'link' for the 'channel' parent, and for each 'item' child.

Copying & pasting & modifying the RSS file from the Wikipedia page, a
minimally-valid RSS file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
 <title>RSS Title</title>
 <description>This is an example of an RSS feed</description>
 <link>http://www.example.com/main.html</link>

 <item>
  <title>Example entry</title>
  <description>Here is some text containing an interesting
description.</description>
  <link>http://www.example.com/blog/post/1</link>
 </item>

</channel>
</rss>
