JSONify your Jekyll Site
Recently, I wanted to be able to dynamically load posts on my jekyll site. One way to achieve this is to generate the entirety of your site in json.
I created a file called site.json
and added these contents:
---
layout: nil
---
[
{% for post in site.posts %}
{
"title" : "{{ post.title }}",
"url" : "{{ post.url }}",
"date" : "{{ post.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}",
"content" : "{{ post.content | escape }}"
} {% if forloop.last %}{% else %},{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
]
If you omit the escape
by “content”, double quotes in your content might break your json.
Happy Ajaxing!
