Jekyll JSON Feed Templates

=========================

A few Liquid templates to use for rendering JSON feeds for your Jekyll blog in keeping with the [JSONFeed spec](https://jsonfeed.org/).  Like it's sister project [jekyll-rss-feeds](https://github.com/snaptortoise/jekyll-rss-feeds), it features a number of kinds of feeds:

- **feed.json** — Renders the 10 most recent posts.

- **feed.category.json** — Only renders posts for a specific category. This example renders posts for a "miscellaneous" category.

- **feed.tag.json** — Only renders posts for a specific tag. This example renders posts for a "jekyll" category.

- **feed.links.json** — Only contains posts that link to external websites noted by a link variable in the [YAML Front Matter](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/YAML-Front-Matter).  Not a common Jekyll convention, but a good way to generating a linked list.

- **feed.articles.json** — Only showing articles that don't link to external sites; The opposite of feed.links.json

How to use

----------

- Update \_config.yml as noted below, or manually replace the variables.

- Copy one of the JSON (ie, feed.json) files to the root directory of your Jekyll blog.

- Run jekyll.

In your generated \_site folder you should find a properly formatted feed at feed.json.

Customizing \_config.yml

------

These templates rely on a customized version of \_config.yml.  The following lines have been added:

	name: Your Blog's Name

	description: A description for your blog

	url: http://your-blog-url.example.com

  author: Your Name (optional)

This makes it easy to reference the title, description and URL for your site in the feed templates using {{ site.name }}, {{ site.description }} and {{ site.url }}.  Even if you're not using these feed templates, you might find these variables useful when you're designing your layouts.
