You just said it yourself: it’s easier to parse. That’s the business
case.

I know this is the wrong list for this, but JSON Feed seems like as

can tell there is no upside to JSON feed other than "it isn't XML". I
don't see a business case for supporting another feed format simply
because
JSON is easier to parse.

Hello,
The structured meta data block is (simplified) YAML [1] e.g:
id: http://therecord.co/chris-parrish
title: Special #1 - Chris Parrish
url: http://therecord.co/chris-parrish
summary: Brent interviews Chris Parrish, co-host of The Record and
one-half of Aged & Distilled.

As an alternative you can use "classic" JSON or newer human
versions (e.g. SON - Simple Object Notation, JSON5 or HJSON, for
example). If you use JSON than the begin / next / end marker change
e.g.:
|>>> becomes |{
</> becomes }/{
<<<| becomes }|
Cheers.
[1] Good point- I know JSON is a subset of YAML and JSON is YAML but
YAML is not JSON etc.
PS: In difference to the new YAML Feed format - Feed.TXT looks like a
joke too ;-) It's easy it can't be true but it's for real e.g. all
content blocks use plain text with markdown formatting conventions
;-)
No more need to clean the HTML for cross-site scripting etc.
