JSON feed
Pretty simple, really. Adds a new type of feed you can subscribe to. Simply add ?feed=json to anywhere you get a normal feed to get it in JSON form (but with a cutdown version of events). Version 1.1 added support for JSONP. To get a JSONP response instead of a normal JSON structure, simply add json

Version 1.1 added support for JSONP. To get a JSONP response instead of a normal JSON structure, simply add jsonp=callbackName to your query, where callbackName is the name of the function to be wrapped with.
To use this with jQuery, you’ll want to do something like:
$.getJSON("http://example.com/feed/?feed=json&jsonp=?", function(data){ console.debug(data[0].title); // print title of first item to firebug console }); });

Frequently asked questions.
There doesn’t appear to be much in the feed is there?
That’s right, I made this plugin for a very specific purpose – to provide feeds for information screens around a University campus. It’s very simple, so should be easy to modify, or contact me and I might do it.
Why does it require 2.7.1?
It probably doesn’t, but I’ve not tested it on any other version. Try it and see, and let me know 🙂
