An open protocol for building social Web applications.
Part of the [[Beaker browser]] project.
Unwalled.Garden is a kind of “Souped up [[RSS]].” Every user has a website, they publish their content as files, and they subscribe to each others sites.
While [[RSS]] was primarily for blogging, Unwalled.Garden includes data types for many kinds of use-cases. These data types are spread across many JSON files which have pre-defined schemas.
The schemas are simple, obvious, and syntax-free. A “post” record looks like this:
```json
{
"type": "unwalled.garden/post",
"body": "Hello, world!",
"createdAt": "2019-05-21T21:27:45.471Z"
}
```
