Introduction

This project idea is heavily inspired by the JSON placeholder's idea of having a fake API.

Here check out the idealogy behind creating something like a JSON placeholder Restful APIs.

Most of the time when, trying a new library, hacking a prototype, or following a tutorial, I found myself in need of some data.

And I didn't like the idea of using some public API because I had the feeling that I was spending more time registering a client and understanding a complex API than focusing on my task.

But I liked the idea of image placeholders for web designers. So I decided to code a little Express server inspired by that and, here is JSONPlaceholder.
