Introduction 57 Activity Streams [asms] is a data format for "the serialization of a 58 stream of social activities using the JSON format" [RFC4627]. 59 Version 1.0 of the specification was published in May of 2011 by the 60 Activity Streams Working Group () and has 61 been implemented in a broad range of applications. 63 This specification defines and registers the "application/ 64 stream+json" Content Type to represent JSON document resources that 65 conform to the JSON Activity Streams version 1.0 Specification, 66 Section 4. 68 In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", 69 "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", 70 and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 72 2. IANA Considerations 74 This specification registers the application/stream+json MIME Media 75 Type: 77 Type name: application 78 Subtype name: stream+json 79 Required parameters: None 80 Optional parameters: "charset" : Specifies the character set 81 encoding. If not specified, a default of "UTF-8" is assumed. 82 Encoding considerations: Resources that use the "application/ 83 stream+json" media type are required to conform to the 84 "application/json" Media Type and are therefore subject to the 85 same encoding considerations specified in Section 6 [RFC4627]. 86 Security considerations: As defined in this specification 87 Published specification: This specification. 88 Applications that use this media type: JSON Activity Streams are 89 implemented by a wide range of existing applications. 90 Additional information: 91 Magic number(s): N/A 92 File extension(s): N/A 93 Macintosh file type code(s): TEXT 94 Person & email address to contact for further information: James M 95 Snell 96 Intended usage: COMMON 97 Restrictions on usage: None. 98 Author: James M Snell 99 Change controller: IESG 101 3. Security Considerations 103 Security considerations for JSON Activity Stream documents are 104 discussed in Section 11 of [asms]. 106 4.
