I was quite excited when I heard of https://jsonfeed.org/ https://jsonfeed.org/. I was surprised at how much more pleasant it seemed, considering the major feature is a simple switch from XML encoding to JSON encoding and not much more.
So it’s a bummer to not see it mentioned (not at all in the article, not much in the comments). Does that mean it didn’t really catch on, or what is its status?
- dreamdu5t 9y agoXML is not a transport encoding like JSON. It is a hypermedia format that supports metadata. Even something as simple as an author attribute on a quote requires a standard on top of JSON. “I can’t parse without programming” is a terrible reason to prefer JSON.
