Comment (by nacin):

 fetch_feed() specifically wraps RSS feeds. fetch_ json() is just ripe for
 abuse. If all it does is wrap the HTTP API, and then does json_decode(),
 that does not seem useful. Why add an extra layer to the API here?
 Especially given disparate needs of caching, API calls versus fetching
 data, etc.
