JSON Server: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Json-server is a simple and lightweight npm package that allows you to quickly set up a RESTful API server using a JSON file as a data source. It is commonly used for prototyping, mocking APIs, and front-end development, providing a fast and easy way to create a full fake REST API with zero coding. Json-server supports various HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and allows you to define custom routes and responses.
Compared to alternative solutions like MirageJS or Express.js with custom middleware, Json-server offers a more straightforward and minimalistic approach for creating mock APIs. It is actively maintained and regularly updated, making it a reliable choice for rapid API prototyping.
