A comment on Gatsby – A Static Site Generator for React.

Just discovered this project.

Since I recently wanted to build a new static site, I tried to hack an existing SSG into generating JSON files to support something like React. Wasn't exactly painless.

So I'm happy about Gatsby.

Why would you need to generate JSON files?

To make individual pages loadable and consumable by a JS frontend like React or Angular, with meta-data like site title, author, etc.
