Hello,  
I am looking to switch from Hugo to Zola! Everything is much more intuitive in Zola, however, one feature I can’t seem to find in Zola is the data folder that hugo offers: [gohugo.io/templates/data-templates/](http://gohugo.io/templates/data-templates/)

I was wondering if Zola had this feature (and maybe I missed it) or how I can replicate this feature.

Thank you

Sorry if I got you wrong, but you can store your assets inside [content folder](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/overview/) or static, and [load](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/templates/overview/#load-data) to Zola
