If an item // is ever updated, the id should be unchanged. New items should // never use a previously-used id. If an id is presented as a number // or other type, a JSON Feed reader must coerce it to a string. // Ideally, the id is the full URL of the resource described by the // item, since URLs make great unique identifiers. ID string `json:"id"` // URL is the URL of the resource described by the item. It’s the // permalink. This may be the same as the id — but should be present // regardless. URL string `json:"url,omitempty"` // ExternalURL is the URL of a page elsewhere. This is especially // useful for linkblogs. If url links to where you’re talking about // a thing, then this links to the thing you’re talking about. ExternalURL string `json:"external_url,omitempty"` // Title (optional, string) is plain text. Microblog items in // particular may omit titles. Title string `json:"title,omitempty"` // ContentHTML and ContentText are each optional strings — but one // or both must be present. This is the HTML or plain text of the // item. Important: the only place HTML is allowed in this format // is in content_html. A Twitter-like service might use content_text, // while a blog might use content_html. Use whichever makes sense // for your resource. (It doesn’t even have to be the same for each // item in a feed.) ContentHTML string `json:"content_html,omitempty"` ContentText string `json:"content_text,omitempty"` // Summary is a plain text sentence or two describing the item. // This might be presented in a timeline, for instance, where a // detail view would display all of ContentHTML or ContentText. Summary string `json:"summary,omitempty"` // Image is the URL of the main image for the item. This image // may also appear in the content_html — if so, it’s a hint to // the feed reader that this is the main, featured image. Feed // readers may use the image as a preview (probably resized as // a thumbnail and placed in a timeline). Image string `json:"image,omitempty"` // BannerImage is the URL of an image to use as a banner. Some // blogging systems (such as Medium) display a different banner // image chosen to go with each post, but that image wouldn’t // otherwise appear in the content_html. A feed reader with a // detail view may choose to show this banner image at the top // of the detail view, possibly with the title overlaid. BannerImage string `json:"banner_image,omitempty"` // DatePublished specifies the date of this Item's publication. DatePublished time.Time `json:"date_published,omitempty"` // DateModified specifies the date of this Item's last modification // (if applicable) DateModified time.Time `json:"date_modified,omitempty"` // Author has the same structure as the top-level author. If not // specified in an item, then the top-level author, if present, // is the author of the item. Author *Author `json:"author,omitempty"` // Tags can have any plain text values you want. Tags tend to be // just one word, but they may be anything. Note: they are not // the equivalent of Twitter hashtags. Some blogging systems and // other feed formats call these categories. Tags []string `json:"tags,omitempty"` // Attachments (optional, array) lists related resources. Podcasts, // for instance, would include an attachment that’s an audio or // video file. Attachments []Attachment `json:"attachments,omitempty"` } // Author specifies the feed author. The author object has several members. // These are all optional, but if you provide an author object, then at // least one is required. type Author struct { // Name is the author's name. Name string `json:"name,omitempty"` // URL is the URL of a site owned by the author. It could be a // blog, micro-blog, Twitter account, and so on. Ideally the linked-to // page provides a way to contact the author, but that’s not // required. The URL could be a mailto: link, though we suspect // that will be rare. URL string `json:"url,omitempty"` // Avatar is the URL for an image for the author. As with icon, // it should be square and relatively large — such as 512 x 512 — // and should use transparency where appropriate, since it may // be rendered on a non-white background. Avatar string `json:"avatar,omitempty"` } // Hub describes endpoints that can be used to subscribe to real-time // notifications from the publisher of this feed. Each object has a type // and url, both of which are required. type Hub struct { Type string `json:"type"` URL string `json:"url"` } // Attachment is a related resource to an Item. If the Feed describes a // podcast, this would refer to the episodes of said podcast. type Attachment struct { // URL specifies the location of the attachment. URL string `json:"url"` // MIMEType specifies the type of the attachment, such as "audio/mpeg". MIMEType string `json:"mime_type"` // Title is a name for the attachment. Important: if there are multiple // attachments, and two or more have the exact same title (when title // is present), then they are considered as alternate representations // of the same thing. In this way a podcaster, for instance, might // provide an audio recording in different formats. Title string `json:"title,omitifempty"` // SizeInBytes specifies the attachment filesize in bytes. SizeInBytes int64 `json:"size_in_bytes,omitempty"` // DurationInSeconds specifies how long the attachment takes to listen // to or watch. DurationInSeconds int64 `json:"duration_in_seconds,omitempty"` } // Feed is a list that may change over time, and the individual items in the // list may change. // // Think of a blog or microblog, Twitter or Facebook timeline, set of commits // to a repository, or even a server log. These are all lists, and each could // be described by a Feed. // // A JSON Feed starts with some info at the top: it says where the Feed comes // from, and may say who created it and so on. type Feed struct { // Version is the URL of the version of the format the Feed uses. Version string `json:"version"` // Title is the name of the Feed, which will often correspond to the // name of the website (blog, for instance), though not necessarily. Title string `json:"title"` // HomePageURL is the URL of the resource that the Feed describes. // This resource may or may not actually be a “home” page, but it // should be an HTML page. If a Feed is published on the public web, // this should be considered as required. But it may not make sense // in the case of a file created on a desktop computer, when that // file is not shared or is shared only privately. // // This field is strongly reccomended, but not required. HomePageURL string `json:"home_page_url,omitempty"` // FeedURL is the URL of the Feed, and serves as the unique identifier // for the Feed. As with home_page_url, this should be considered // required for Feeds on the public web. // // This field is strongly reccomended, but not required. FeedURL string `json:"feed_url,omitempty"` // Description provides more detail, beyond the title, on what the Feed // is about. A Feed reader may display this text. Description string `json:"description,omitempty"` // UserComment is a description of the purpose of the Feed. This is for // the use of people looking at the raw JSON, and should be ignored by // Feed readers. UserComment string `json:"user_comment,omitempty"` // NextURL is the URL of a Feed that provides the next n items, where // n is determined by the publisher. This allows for pagination, but // with the expectation that reader software is not required to use it // and probably won’t use it very often. next_url must not be the same // as Feed_url, and it must not be the same as a previous next_url // (to avoid infinite loops). NextURL string `json:"next_url,omitempty"` // Icon is the URL of an image for the Feed suitable to be used in a // timeline, much the way an avatar might be used. It should be square // and relatively large — such as 512 x 512 — so that it can be scaled-down // and so that it can look good on retina displays. It should use transparency // where appropriate, since it may be rendered on a non-white background. Icon string `json:"icon,omitempty"` // Favicon is the URL of an image for the Feed suitable to be used in a // source list. It should be square and relatively small, but not smaller // than 64 x 64 (so that it can look good on retina displays). As with icon, // this image should use transparency where appropriate, since it may be // rendered on a non-white background. Favicon string `json:"favicon,omitempty"` // Author specifies the Feed author. Author Author `json:"author,omitempty"` // Expired specifies if the Feed will never update again. A Feed for a // temporary event, such as an instance of the Olympics, could expire. // If the value is true, then it’s expired. Any other value, or the // absence of expired, means the Feed may continue to update. Expired bool `json:"expired,omitempty"` // Hubs describes endpoints that can be used to subscribe to real-time // notifications from the publisher of this Feed.
