This plugin generates a host-meta file for a site, which is a standard method for web-based protocols to discover host-level metadata and policies. It is primarily for developers and site administrators who need their platform to interoperate with other services and protocols that rely on this discovery mechanism, such as federated social web standards.

• Protocol Discovery: Creates a well-known /.well-known/host-meta endpoint, allowing external clients and services to automatically find connection information and supported features.
• Multiple Format Support: Provides metadata in both XML (XRD) and JSON (JRD) formats to ensure broad compatibility with different consuming applications and specifications.
• Extended Compatibility: Includes built-in links for discovering related services, such as the site's Really Simple Discovery (RSD) file and its application programming interface (API) endpoints, facilitating machine-readable access.
• Standards-Based: Implements the IETF RFC 6415 specification for host metadata, ensuring correct syntax and reliable parsing by compliant software.
• Simple Integration: Activates without complex configuration, automatically managing the required rewrite rules and serving the metadata file from the correct location.
