Feeds power the open web — RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, AT Protocol — but the infrastructure around them has gaps. feedspec.org publishes open specs to fill them.
Built on standards you already use. Non-breaking extensions that degrade gracefully. Developed in the open.
feedspec specs are additive extensions to existing formats. RSS stays RSS. Atom stays Atom. We add capabilities on top.
Readers that don't support a feedspec extension see exactly what they always have. No breakage, no confusion.
OAuth 2.0, JWT, well-known URIs, JSON. We compose existing web standards rather than inventing new ones.
A project by Jason Shellen. All specs are developed in the open on GitHub.
