Collection+JSON

See Collection+JSON - Hypermedia Type

Collection+JSON is a JSON-based read/write hypermedia-type designed to support management and querying of simple collections. It is similar to the The Atom Syndication Format (RFC4287) and the The Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC5023) . However, Collection+JSON defines both the format and the semantics in a single media type. It also includes support for Query Templates and expanded write support through the use of a Write Template.

YAML Feed (†)

• YAMLFeed @ Indie Web (twitter: yamlfeed) - Launched as a "practical" lulz joke - keep the formats wars (eg. rss vs atom) alive (e.g. now json vs yaml).
