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!
