  console.log(data);
});

Run

"Try me!"

Use your OWN data

JSON Server powers this website. You can use it to create the same fake API in less than 30 seconds with your own data.

npm install -g json-server

You seem to be on OS X, see also katon, another dev utility.

Check also Pegasus, a front-end library that lets you load JSON while still loading other scripts.

Do you sometimes forget to run tests before a git commit or push?
