Today I learned about JSON feed, an alternative to RSS
and Atom formats. I’ve almost always chosen JSON over XML. It’s easier
to read and write, both by hand and in a programming environment. I
would like to live in a world where JSON feeds are popular enough that
it is expected that readers support them — so that writers won’t have
to deal with legacy XML formats. Because of this I added my
own /feed.json. It took one hour, including writing
this post.
Psst! Watch Phototropism, my new experiment.
