RESTful API

[benbalter]

Rather than a single firehose of a site's entire content (which will get big fast), it'd be awesome if I could simply add .json to any Jekyll URL to get the JSON representation of just that file, essentially turning any Jekyll site into a RESTful API.

Whoa, that's a great idea. Do you mean adding that functionality to this gem, or to Jekyll itself?

Yes. Assumed it'd be easier via the gem (if you already have the Jekyll -> JSON logic), it'd just be a matter of adding a generator that spits out a JSON file per file.

I agree. This addition would be awesome.
