It'd be pretty cool to have an ecosystem where you could
```
$ packagemanger init my-site password
$ hostOfChoice deploy
```
Go to the url, auth yourself, then have a list of "plugins" that act as a ~cms for formats like the ones above
Edit: Could you at least tell me why you're downvoting
- quintussss 4y agoI don't get why anybody would want a json feed. RSS/Atom are already simple to the point of being trivial, so why introduce more standards?
- diordiderot 4y agoFor me personally, two reasons 1. I find it easier to work with JSON using javascript 2. The stupid reason, I find it more aesthetically pleasing
- kixiQu 4y agoYou're not exactly wrong – I don't serve out a json feed myself, even – but RSS/Atom are terribly underused for cases other than "personal organization of feed reading" when they could handle a lot of weirder poll-for-updates automation, and the json format seems like an attempt to encourage that direction. You don't need a bespoke API if what you have makes sense in a feed like this, but people would really rather work with a json than XML.
- jonwinstanley 4y agoJSON is more readable to humans, while still being great for machines
- SahAssar 4y agoXML is a far more complex format to parse.
- jordemort 4y agoI'm a structured data maximalist so in addition to RSS and Atom, I implemented Schema.org metadata on my blog for GoogleBot, and I implemented JSON Feed and h-feed/h-entry markup, even though I've never seen anything that actually uses JSON Feed out in the wild. I'd be interested if there's anyone out there that's actually using these sorts of feeds.
