About

Microformats are a set of defined HTML classes and attributes created to serve as descriptive metadata about an element, representing commonly published things like people, events, blog posts, reviews, and so on.

oEmbed is an open format that allows websites to embed representations of external URLs such as videos, images, and posts from third-party services.

It defines a simple API that returns structured metadata in JSON or XML for generating content previews, and supports multiple content types including video, photo, link, and rich embeds.
