So, PubSubHubbub is not linked with RSS anymore and works with any type of data format, including JSON obviously :)

The quick win of PubSubHubbub compared to Resthook is that it has a 'security' mechanism in it, which means that the subscriber can be 100% sure that the service sending the notification is not someone impersonating it.

Aside from this, I feel like PubSubHubbub and Reshook solve the same problem: programatically setting up webhooks.
