5 Must have JSON Stores for Frontend Developer

Now a days JSON data is very popular format return by any REST API call. As a Frontend Developer whenever you start working on any App Development you may need demo JSON data to start. In a large scale project you don't have REST API available completely so by that time you always start with demo JSON data.

In this post I am sharing some of really good resources for demo JSON data. Here are the following resources:

1. myjson

myjson is a simple JSON store for your web or mobile app. It allows you host your demo JSON data freely. Once your JSON hosted you get a URL so that you could easily use it in your app to fetch demo JSON data.

This is very useful and easy to use. See pic below:

Here is demo JSON data URL shown in above pic. https://api.myjson.com/bins/nedhk

2. JSON Placeholder

JSONPlaceholder is a free online REST API that you can use whenever you need some fake data. It's great for tutorials, testing new libraries, sharing code examples.

You can use http or https when making requests to JSONPlaceholder.

3. JSON Generator

JSON Generator is another app that allows you generate fake JSON data. JSON Generator has a convenient syntax. You can specify JavaScript any object for template that you see in the left box. Fields may have any name and value, but it must be valid JavaScript. Values, which are strings, may contain one or more template tags. When you click "Save" the template object will be copied several times and random values will be inserted instead of string tags.

If you click "Save", JSON will be generated and stored on the server. You can download generated file by clicking "Share" and "Export .json" then. Or you can access it by URL that you can get by clicking "Share" and "Direct link to JSON" button then. JSON Generator can JSONP as well.

4. My JSON Server

My JSON Server is a fake Online REST server for teams. It allows you create a JSON file on GitHub and get instantly a fake server.

Hers is a example how to do create your fake server:

1. Create a repository on GitHub (/)
2. Create a db.json file
3. Visit https://my-json-server.typicode.com// to access your server

In this whole process you doesn't any registration and you don't have to install anything.

5. jsonstore.io

jsonstore.io offers a free, secured and JSON based cloud datastore for small projects. Just enter https://www.jsonstore.io/, copy the URL and start sending HTTP requests to communicate with your datastore. POST requests will save data, PUT requests modify data, DELETE requests delete data and GET requests retrieves data.

6. Free JSON storage

This tool allows you to store JSON bins, and manipulate this data over a simple HTTP API. You can use this service for tutorials, sharing code examples or mocking requests. You can also use this REST API for websites, web and mobile applications on development and qualification environments.
