JSON of all pages/specific sections of site as one data set

[a-ok]

I realise this may be a generic JSON/PHP question but I want to make sure I'm harnessing the API correctly from the beginning.

I want to create a JSON data output of pages of my site, as well as individual pages, but I'm unsure how to do this as one whole output. I know and can output, for example, projects within a project, but how do I also output the homepage content, and other page content, at the same time? 

The JSON output would include things like 'home' and 'project' arrays but would be blank if you aren't viewing the homepage and or project page... if that makes sense.

$projects_array = array(
	'projects' => array()
);

$projects = $pages->find('template=projects-detail, sort=sort');

foreach ($projects as $project) {

    $project_content = array(
        'id' => $project->id,
		'title' => $project->title,
		'name' => $project->name,
		'size' => $project->projects_categories_projects_size,
		'img' => array(
			'featured' => $project->projects_detail_featured_image->url
		)
    );
    array_push($projects_array['projects'], $project_content);

}

$projects_json = json_encode($projects_array, true);

I think this still gives me the same problem... I'd still need to build the data as JSON before passing it into fractal.
