What is a machine-readable edition of a website?

Answer

The same content, restructured for software that reads instead of people who look. For my own site that is agents.willem.com: every post as JSON and markdown, the whole corpus in one request, topic and question entities, full-text feeds and an index that tells an agent where everything is, all published from the same content that builds the human site. Feeds were the first step, years ago: a standard edition anyone, and now anything, can subscribe to without asking for permission. The machine edition is that idea applied to the entire site.
