JSONFeed VS node

If you have a web feed, be it RSS or Atom or JSON Feed, help others discover it!

Imagine you have an RSS feed similar to this. The objective is to obtain that RSS feed, analyze the data it contains, and take action with it. RSS is an XML format, whereas JSON is arguably easier to work with than XML. While many APIs provide JSON results, RSS is less likely to receive them, despite their existence.

At least for now, Astro clearly falls short in this category. Its built-in ability to provide RSS feeds is rather limited, and it doesn’t yet enable JSON feeds at all.5 In the meantime, some users, including Yours Truly, have gotten around this by using the third-party feed package, which supports RSS and JSON feeds.6

want to also support JSON Feed?

Node.js

To install and run Ember.js, you'll need to follow these steps: Install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) on your computer. You can download the latest version of Node.js from the official website. Once Node.js and npm are installed, open a terminal window and run the following command to install the Ember.js command line interface (CLI):

NodeJS - Link

To get involved in the Node.js developer community, you can join community discussions or begin with learning if you’re new. The community discussion houses a GitHub list of issues related to Node.js' core features. If you want to chat in real time about Node.js development, there are Slack groups, and you can still connect with IRC clients or web clients when using the browser. Node.js has a calendar for public meetings.

Download the latest version from the Node.js website, open the package installer, and follow the instructions Use a package manager like Homebrew with the command brew install node On Linux, you can consult this page to determine how you should install Node.

As with all experimental things, a few things are missing. Some of these might lead to people using dotenv until support for these gets added. I will mention them here and let you see if they are dealbreakers. You can also follow the GitHub issue to track missing feature support.

Node

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.
