JSON has become the developers’ choice for APIs, and that developers will often go out of their way to avoid XML. JSON is simpler to read and write, and it’s less prone to bugs. So we developed JSON Feed, a format similar to RSS and Atom but in JSON. It reflects the lessons learned from our years of work reading and publishing feeds.

Nice little intro/tutorial on the awesome plugin that gives you JSON feeds of everything in WordPress.
Plugin to add a simple JSON-based API to a WordPress installation. Allows for all sorts of potential AJAX loveliness.
I’ve been doing a lot of work lately with raw WordPress options (what’s stored in the database), and started getting annoyed at manually unserializing the ones that are serialized to see what’s in them. I was also working with a lot of content that was JSON encoded, so it was all getting a bit tedious. Enter the Secret Decoder Ring!
This is a super-simple (basic, dodgy, hackish), fun little script that allows you to quickly decode “encoded” information in a variety of formats. I have it in my browser toolbar as a bookmark so that I can get at it easily. All you do is copy-paste something into it, and then click the appropriate button to get decoded output. Click the link below and give it a shot.
It’s also handy if your WordPress install gets hacked (hi Dreamhost! 🙁 ) and someone adds a bunch of base64_encoded() junk in your files, because now you can quickly and easily decode it and see what it says.
