JSON feed

[justinmayer]

Should we add JSON Feed capability to FeedGenerator? @rjames86 has begun work on a JSON Feed plugin, and he wondered what @getpelican/reviewers thought about integrating it into FeedGenerator instead. Any thoughts?

Thanks @justinmayer! I got disconnected from the IRC channel after I had asked the question.

I already have an initial commit done on my own fork to get this working here

Looking for suggestions on where the JSON classes should live. It's a generator, but it for some reason felt off putting it in generators.py.

I've also implemented the same methods as the RSS/ATOM generators so that implementation should be fairly trivial

[rjames86]

Bump. Anyone have any feedback on this? If not, I'll clean it up and get tests written and submit for review

I'm not sure that JSON feed is used by at least one mature software though I'd say: why not give it a chance? :)

Before I found this issue I found this project by @myles which implements a subclass of SyndicationFeed to produce JSON Feeds: https://github.com/myles/django-jsonfeed

I'm using it as an interim solution, and maybe it could be integrated into feedgenerator?
