r/javascript on Reddit: Anyone have a favorite free service that has dummy JSON that can be queried over HTTP?
January 28, 2017 -

When testing non-application-specific code (like middleware or generic architecture), I often would like to have something like placehold.it but for JSON. Something I can perform HTTP requests against when I don't necessarily care about what type of data I get back, as long as I get something. Do any of you know of a service like that?
