{0 JSON output}
In order to embed the output of odoc within another website,
the html generator for odoc has a mode where instead of producing HTML files, it will produce JSON files
where the HTML files would have been. For example, if the HTML generator would have produced a file
[/x/y/z/index.html], then when the [--as-json] flag is passed to [odoc html-generate], it will instead
write the file [/x/y/z/index.html.json].
In addition, there is a per-package 'global' sidebar json file.

The fields of the JSON are as follows:
- [header] is a string containing HTML for the header of the page.
- [type] field is either [documentation] or [source].
- [uses_katex] is [true] if the page has math entries ([{m ...}] or [{math ...}]).
- [breadcrumbs] is a list of breadcrumb entries with members [name], [href] and [kind]. If [href] is null then there is no index page at that location in the hierarchy. [kind] is one of
[page], [module], [leaf-page], [module-type], [argument-<number>], [class], [class-type], [file] or [source]
- [toc] contains the table-of-contents for the page. This consists of a list of objects containing fields [title], [href] and [children]. [title] is a string containing HTML. [href] is the anchor in the page, and [children] is a list of more of these entries representing the sub-items in the table-of-contents.
- [source_anchor] is the URL of the corresponding source file, if it exists.
- [preamble] is a string containing HTML for the preamble of the page.
- [content] is a string containing HTML for the main content of the page.
The data contained in these JSON files can be used to embed the HTML as rendered by odoc into a more complex site.
The main requirement is that it is expected that an HTML page will exist at every location where a JSON file has been written.
This is to ensure that relative links work.
{1 Example sidebar json}
{@json[
[
{
"node": {
"url": "ocaml-base-compiler/index.html",

The 'global' sidebar JSON file consists of a list of objects, each containing a [node] field and a [children] field.
The [node] field contains an object containing a [url], [kind] and [content]. The [kind] page is similar to that in the breadcrumbs above.
The [content] field is an HTML string, and the [url] field is a string.
