As of 2018-07-29, 
Aaron Parecki's post permalinks have a rel=alternate link to alternative representations in Microformats JSON, jf2, and ActivityStreams 2.0 formats.
For example, the page at https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth includes the following in the HTML <head>:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/mf2+json"
href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.json" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/jf2+json"
href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.jf2" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json"
href="https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/12/10/indieauth.as2" />
These alternative URLs for the post return the post in the specified formats. The Microformats JSON and jf2 URLs are generated automatically by running the generated HTML through a Microformats parser and XRay and returning the parsed result instead of the HTML.
