Static site generator that generates JSON, not HTML

I am a big fan of static site generators like Middleman and Jekyll . Creating a full blog from flat files and uploading them to Amazon S3 without having to worry about performance and / or database problems is very good.

Having spent some time developing web applications using AngularJS, Ember, and Backbone, it seemed to me that generating JSON files, not HTML, was at least worth the shot.

I implemented the idea using Jekyll, Liquid Templates, and a shell script, but this does not seem like a proof of concept. Perhaps one of you guys came up with the same idea, knows that a static site generator is better suited for such a task, or has something else to share?
