JSONfeed support ? #117

Closed seriousme closed 7 years ago

seriousme commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Nice reader. Any plans to support jsonfeed as well ? Alduin could be the first offline reader to support it ;-) (see https://jsonfeed.org/code)

Cheers, Hans

May I ask you a JSON feed sample from a website you like (or not) to help me to test the feature?

seriousme commented 7 years ago

I have no immediate favorite, but the bottom of the spec page lists a number of sites providing JSON feeds:

There are some JSON Feeds on the web:

Shape Of Flying Meat Maybe Pizza? Daring Fireball etc...

I can't guarantee that JSONfeed will become as popular as RSS but I support the idea of replacing XML by JSON wherever possible and without clients there won't be any servers ;-)

Thanks!

I totally agree, and to be honest, it's clearly not a feature that will take a long time to implement because Alduin already has to parse XML feeds to JSON. ;)

seriousme commented 7 years ago

That's what I guessed when I looked at the source ;-)

Done, come with the next release !
