Add JSON rendering.

I came across Elm's JSON output for docs recently: http://package.elm-lang.org/help/docs-preview

Might be interesting to generate JSON as one of the possible outputs at some point.

Do you have a specific format (schema?) in mind or should we invent a custom structure for the JSON file?

But a possible application that I would like to see is to have single site with package documentations, including cross package search and references. Then adding a package there could be just a matter of adding a JSON file. It would also decouple the "data" (documentation) from the presentation. I am wondering though.. maybe XML would be more appropriate for this.

No format in mind at the moment.

single site with package documentations, including cross package search and references.

Yup, that's the idea, should be possible I think.

I'm doing a triage of open documenter issues and closing issues that are stale. If I've made a mistake, please re-open

Closing as stale. It'd be nice to have everything in a single file for something like MultiDocumenter, but there are too many edge-cases (big heavy assets like images?). We'd also have to define our own schema, which seems like a heavy lift. Also, no one else has asked for this since 2016, so it doesn't seem like a high priority.
