No, is the short answer! A great example is the manifest.json file which contains info on your site’s favicon and other data used in Progressive Web Apps. Typically, this file will not change often and does not need processing by Vite (Astro’s bundler). You can just place the manifest.json file in the `public` folder of your project. If you wanted to serve a more dynamic JSON file. Let’s say you need to pull in fresh data on each build to form the JSON file. Here you might as well make use of Vite and create a resource route. We have seen this is not too difficult to do. You could even make the site Server-Side Rendered and customize the JSON data for each visitor, pulling in real-time data.
