Better feeds with JSONfeed

It seems that there is finally a format which can replace the old and often ugly looking XML documents. JsonFeed is dead-simple and provides the same functionality as XML based feeds. This simple example illustrates how nice and clean feeds in JSON can look like:

{
	"version": "https://jsonfeed.org/version/1",
	"title": "My Example Feed",
	"home_page_url": "https://example.org/",
	"feed_url": "https://example.org/feed.json",
	"items": [
		{
			"id": "2",
			"content_text": "This is a second item.",
			"url": "https://example.org/second-item"
		},
		{
			"id": "1",
			"content_html": "<p>Hello, world!</p>",
			"url": "https://example.org/initial-post"
		}
	]
}
In the next days/weeks I will update this blog, which runs on Jekyll, and serve a JSONFeed for those interested.
