JSON Feed v1.1

Role

JSON Feed (jsonfeed.org spec v1.1) published at /feed.json on every content-bearing site. Modern feed readers (NetNewsWire, Feedbin, Inoreader, custom dev tooling) prefer it over RSS / Atom because it's plain JSON — no XML parser required, ergonomic to consume from JS.

Sits alongside RSS 2.0 + Atom 1.0 — see decisions/architecture/feeds-rss-atom-json.md.

Free tier

• Open spec — no service, no account, no quota
• Generated at build time, dropped into dist/feed.json
• Served by Cloudflare Pages as a static asset

Card / subscription required?

NO. Pure build-time output.

Spec highlights (v1.1)

• version: "https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1"
• Required: version, title, items[]
• Each item: id, optional url, title, content_html / content_text, date_published, tags[], authors[]
• Authors moved to per-item arrays in 1.1 (was single author in 1.0)
• Cleaner extension model than RSS — custom keys go under _extensions namespaces

How it's used

@chirag127/oriz-kit/feeds ships generateJsonFeed(posts):

import { generateJsonFeed } from "@chirag127/oriz-kit/feeds";
const json = generateJsonFeed({
  site: "https://blog.oriz.in",
  title: "Oriz Blog",
  posts,
});
await fs.writeFile("dist/feed.json", JSON.stringify(json));

The <FeedDiscovery /> component injects all three feed <link> tags into the head — JSON Feed gets <link rel="alternate" type="application/feed+json" href="/feed.json">.

Alternatives

• RSS / Atom only — readers preferring JSON Feed would not auto-discover
• Custom JSON shape — would lose reader interop
• Skip — small but real audience of dev-tooling-built-on-JSON-Feed loses access; cost to publish is negligible

Swap cost

Low — build-step helper.

Why this is our pick

Cheapest of the three formats to ship (it's already valid JSON, no XML serializer needed). Future-friendly: every modern reader I know supports it; few legacy readers don't. Three-format publishing guarantees we never lose a subscriber to a format gap.
