What it does

We’ve updated the spec to version 1.1 . It’s a minor update to JSON Feed, clarifying a few things in the spec and adding a couple new fields such as authors and language . For version 1.1, we’re starting to move to the more specific MIME type application/feed+json . Clients that parse HTML to discover feeds should prefer that MIME type, while still falling back to accepting application/json too. The code page has also been updated with several new code libraries and apps that support JSON Feed. We — Manton Reece and Brent Simmons — have noticed that JSON has become the developers’ choice for APIs, and that developers will often go out of their way to avoid XML. JSON is simpler…from jsonfeed.org
