How to use Jekyll Data - Jekyll Tutorial 20

Jekyll data files are a great way to separate content from source code to make the site easier to maintain.

Data files are a kind of database but not dynamic. The changes should be manually done to it.

It is very helpful in HTML web development where your customers may want to edit some of the content in the site. There is a good chance that they will break the code.

We can mitigate this issue just by using a data file and having all the client editable content in there.

It also helps in building Jekyll Themes where customers may not have to gid deep into the code to change that one sentence.
