  • What I would really like to see is “subscribeable OPML feeds”, so GitHub could provide a OPML feed for what shows up in your home page, and you any changes in your subscriptions (repos you watch etc) would change the OPML, which would then cause your feed reader to unsubscribe/subscribe to specific RAS feeds.

    Unfortunately, this isn’t supported by the majority of RSS clients (tt-rss is the only one I know) which means in practice OPML feeds are merely import/export mechanisms.

  • jsonstreamingparser

    A JSON streaming parser implementation in PHP.

  • Yes and no. You are correct about it being a document protocol, but it has long been set up as a big document protocol.

    Most XML libraries are structured to receive XML in packets, in asynchronous bursts. I don't know of many JSON handlers that can do the same. They do exist (I use one, in the backend of one of my projects[0]), but they aren't as common. XML has packet/async built into OS SDKs, but JSON tends to be "The Whole Nine Yards" handling.

    With Big Data/ML, I'm surprised that this is still a thing.
