I’ll repurpose an older comment[1]. It was in response to “I doubt very much [JSON feeds] will catch on”.

> There’s little incentive for websites to change to JSON feeds when their RSS feeds are already implemented, working well, and generated automatically. But several good RSS readers added support for JSON feeds when the format was introduced and that’s all you need for it to be viable; it isn’t important if it “catches on” after that when the flexibility is there.

> JSON feeds were great for me because I generate my own feeds for personal consumption and can now do so with simpler code. I understand I’m in a minority—most people consume feeds and never create their own—but the larger point is JSON feeds may have already done their job: they exist and are supported if you need them.
