JSON Feed Extensions

Here is the documentation of all of my JSON Feed extensions. I have created these JSON Feed extensions in order to give users more metadata about my articles and talks.

_xesite_frontmatter

This extension is added to JSON Feed Items and gives readers a copy of the frontmatter data that I annotate my posts with. The contents of this will vary by post, but will have any of the following fields:

• about (required, string) is a link to this documentation. It gives readers of the JSON Feed information about what this extension does. This is for informational purposes only and can safely be ignored by programs.
• series (optional, string) is the optional blogpost series name that this item belongs to. When I post multiple posts about the same topic, I will usually set the series to the same value so that it is more discoverable on my series index page.
• slides_link (optional, string) is a link to the PDF containing the slides for a given talk. This is always set on talks, but is technically optional because not everything I do is a talk.
• vod (optional, string) is an object that describes where you can watch the Video On Demand (vod) for the writing process of a post. This is an object that always contains the fields twitch and youtube. These will be URLs to the videos so that you can watch them on demand.
