Add Microformats2 Feeds for WordPress
Provides a Microformats2 JSON "Feed" for every WordPress URL, and helps to allow other sites to get pre-parsed Microformats-JSON even if the theme does not support Microformats2.
Microformats2 are a key building-block of the IndieWeb, but it is very hard (if not impossible) to get Microformats2 as a core feature for all WordPress themes. There are several themes that are supporting Microformats2, but everyone should choose his prefered theme and should not be limited to use one of the few community themes. After a lot of discussions and some different plugin approaches, we are trying to provide an alternate (rel=altenate) representation of the microformatted HTML.
The plugin is inspired by the URL design of p3k of @aaronpk.
p3k Example:
- Original: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates
- Microformats2 JSON: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.json
- JF2: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/30/18/xray-updates.jf2
WordPress Example:
- Original: https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/
- Microformats2 JSON: https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/mf2
- JF2: https://notiz.blog/2013/06/18/the-rise-of-the-indieweb/feed/jf2
Microformats are a simple way to markup structured information in HTML using classes. WordPress incorporates some classic Microformats. Microformats 2 supersedes classic microformats.
