JSON Feed

[justinrummel]

Didn't know if you would be interested in a JSON feed added to this repo. I don't believe the PR for jekyll-feed is going to move forward, so it won't happen by a gem. And the one advertised for vallieres does not take into account some changes done by MM (such as images).

• json.html (Layout that also uses compress)
• feed.json

Perhaps.

I've done mine own version of a JSON Feed layout. Still want to switch to jekyll-seo-tag plugin and standardize on the use of page.image or page.image.feed instead of page.image.feature to better leverage the official Jekyll plugins that use those variables.

Gotcha... if there is going to be changes in the future then people can view my repo and use it if they want, but it may be better to wait till those elements calm down.

qq on use of liquid to parse data, why is it necessary to put the tags in a for loop. Since this is already an array of tags, can you simply state:

"tags" : {{ post.tags | jsonify }}

better yet, I would sort and ensure the array is unique.

[mmistakes]

Good question. Just a miss when I forked the layout.There were a few other things I simplified and removed. Dropping the for loop should improve build times slightly too.

sort and uniq are good ideas as well.

Any progress on this? @justinrummel, have you prepared a PR?

[mmistakes]

Closing as I don't really have any interest in managing a layout for this. My concerns are all echo'd here jekyll/jekyll-feed#172

Your best bet is looking for a plugin/gem that does this or rolling your own layout.
