Because then I could have it work the exact same way if the data is NOT available on the page - it could trigger a `fetch()` call for the same stuff. So loading it on the page becomes an optional performance optimization.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 1487738738, "label": "Option for plugins to request that JSON be served on the page"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
