About

Humans.txt is a plain text file that allows website creators to identify and credit the people involved in developing a website.

It may include information about developers, designers, and technologies used on the site, and is typically referenced through the <link rel="author"> HTML element.

Pingback is an XML-RPC-based protocol that allows websites to notify each other when one links to another.

A website can advertise its Pingback endpoint through an HTML link element or the X-Pingback HTTP header, allowing compatible blogging platforms and clients to send notifications automatically.
