`gatsby-plugin-json-output` is a Gatsby plugin that generates JSON versions and feeds of your Gatsby content. Fetch JSON content from Gatsby with API-like static feeds that automatically update with your builds.

Overview

The Gatsby Plugin - JSON Output is a powerful tool designed for developers looking to seamlessly integrate JSON content generation into their Gatsby projects. It simplifies the process of fetching and serving JSON data from static feeds, ensuring that the content is automatically updated with every build. By providing individual JSON views for each static HTML page, this plugin enhances the versatility of your site’s data presentation and consumption.

This plugin is particularly useful for those working with sites that involve a lot of page content managed through GraphQL queries. With its straightforward configuration and flexible features, developers can create an efficient API-like structure that enhances both usability and performance.

Features

  • Automatic Updates: Integrates with Gatsby’s build process to automatically update JSON content whenever builds are run, ensuring your data is always current.

  • Individual JSON Files: Generates unique JSON files for each static HTML page, turning URLs like /about/index.html into /about/index.json, which improves data accessibility.

  • Custom Serialization: Allows for a flexible serialize function that can restructure the contents of your JSON files, providing developers with control over their data’s final format.

  • Feed Metadata: Offers the option to include meta information in JSON feed files, allowing developers to enrich their data for better context and information management.

  • Multiple Feed Filings: Supports the creation of multiple JSON feed files with distinct structures by specifying different configurations, catering to diverse data needs across your site.

  • GraphQL Query Integration: Requires the inclusion of a GraphQL query string, ensuring that only the necessary data is pulled into the JSON files, optimizing performance and load times.

  • Versatile Output Locations: Automatically organizes feed files in the output directory, starting from public/feed-1.json, providing clarity and ease of access for developers.

  • Configurable through gatsby-config.js: Easy setup and configuration through the standard Gatsby configuration file, making integration into existing projects simple and efficient.
