Hi, Json feed is an alternative to xml feeds. Is there a possiblity for elfeed to read jsonfeeds? Thanks, B

Elfeed does not currently support JSON Feed. I considered it as a future possibility when it was first announced, but 6 years later it still never achieved significant adoption. Since it's not really designed to replace Atom or RSS, but rather serve as an additional, non-XML option alongside an XML feed, this lack of support shouldn't practically matter.

Thanks for making it clear. I had created some feed myself using the json feed because I am more familiar with it but I guess it would be better to turn them in to xml. Best, B
