What is the structure of `site` data

Help
1

If I understood this structure of site.data how all of the data is arranged, depending on its source (importantly _data, _posts, and the tags… how to reference a given post then I can probably solve my own problem here:

I’m trying to {{ site.data | inspect }} but… hahah… that just freezes my build.

maybe I’ll try again with a blank template, and see if I can get it to work.

Thanks.

I found how to generate some of the answers myself:

---
title: "site data"
permalink: /tagz/
layout: single
---

## _site

<!--NOT WORKING -->
<ul>
{% for item in site %}
  <li>
      {{ item[0] }}
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

<!-- WORKING-->
### _site/data
<ul>
{% for item in site.data %}
  <li>
      {{ item[0] }}
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

and this plugin seems will provide the win:

Following are the top level headings falling under site, and below that the code I used to find that (along with code for exposing site.data and site.posts headings. you should be able to determine the rest of whatever you are looking for, from here.

top level site.{{variable}}

time, documents, related_posts, config, data, pages, tags, posts, static_files, categories, collections, html_pages, source, destination, collections_dir, plugins_dir, layouts_dir, data_dir, includes_dir, safe, include, exclude, keep_files, encoding, markdown_ext, strict_front_matter, show_drafts, limit_posts, future, unpublished, whitelist, plugins, markdown, highlighter, lsi, excerpt_separator, incremental, detach, port, host, baseurl, show_dir_listing, permalink, paginate_path, timezone, quiet, verbose, defaults, liquid, rdiscount, redcarpet, kramdown, jailed, theme, minimal_mistakes_skin, locale, title, title_separator, name, description, url, repository, github, teaser, logo, masthead_title, words_per_minute, comments, staticman, reCaptcha, atom_feed, search, search_provider, algolia, google, google_site_verification, bing_site_verification, yandex_site_verification, naver_site_verification, twitter, facebook, og_image, social, analytics, author, footer, sass, paginate, jekyll-mentions, category_archive, tag_archive, compress_html, livereload_port, serving, watch, gist
