JSON Feed Creators Aim to Revitalize Interest in the Open Web with RSS Alternative

JSON Feed, a project created by Manton Reece and Brent Simmons, launched last week. It’s a syndication format similar to RSS and Atom but built with JSON. “The premise was simple: the time is right for a JSON-based approach to feeds,” Reece said. “We hope that JSON Feed is straightforward enough to be implemented quickly, and capable enough to push the next decade of blogging software forward. We love RSS too and tried to learn from its success.”
Version 1 of the spec was published last week and the intro includes a very simple example. Publishers can further extend their feeds by creating custom objects.
The team has also developed a JSON Feed plugin for WordPress, which is now available in the official WordPress Plugin Directory. They are also working on a JSON Feed Parser for Swift.
If you want to see some example JSON Feeds on the web, check out Daring Fireball, Allen Pike, and Flying Meat. Reece’s Micro.blog project also supports JSON Feed for its Twitter-like timeline.
