Feeds (in Atom, RSS, JSON Feed, HTML h-entry, etc.) with Test Assertions.
How does it work?
Use the triple-dash (e.g. ---) on its own line to separate
the feed source from all test assertions. Example:
{
"version": "https://jsonfeed.org/version/1",
"title": "JSON Feed",
"description": "JSON Feed is a pragmatic syndication format for blogs, microblogs, and other time-based content.",
"home_page_url": "https://jsonfeed.org/",
"feed_url": "https://jsonfeed.org/feed.json",
"user_comment": "This feed allows you to read the posts...",
"favicon": "https://jsonfeed.org/graphics/icon.png",
"author": {
"name": "Brent Simmons and Manton Reece"
},
"items": [
{
"id": "https://jsonfeed.org/2017/05/17/announcing_json_feed",
"url": "https://jsonfeed.org/2017/05/17/announcing_json_feed",
"title": "Announcing JSON Feed",
"content_html": "<p>We — Manton Reece and Brent Simmons — have noticed that JSON has become the developers’ choice for APIs,...",
"date_published": "2017-05-17T08:02:12-07:00"
}
]
}
