Look, not to be defensive but no academic work provides its citations in the Bibtex HTML microformat (they should, but they don't) or even heavyweight structured format like https://schema.org/Text. They provide BibTex syntax at best and DOIs and ISBNs at worst. I'm just meeting the academic standard where it is, and running the {citation format}->HTML conversion on the fly in an ergonomic manner.

For what it's worth, the Typst people are advocating a YAML-based competitor to BibTeX (that can convert to/from BibTeX). That, in JSON instead of YAML, would fit well in a web environment, and still be a "well-known format".

Ah yeah I tried to add support for this a while back! Unfortunately Citation.js doesn't handle it properly - encouraged me to actually file an Issue: https://github.com/citation-js/citation-js/issues/240
