A great way for testing REST JSON calls is using the [WayBack] JSONPlaceholder – Fake online REST API for developers:
Fake Online REST API for Testing and Prototyping
Serving ~200M requests per month
Powered by JSON Server [WayBack] + LowDB [WayBack]
It is like [WayBack] Placeholder.com: Placeholder Images Done For You [JPG, GIF & PNG] but for JSON and supports both CORS and JSON-P for cross domain requests.
You can either use that site (which has a predefined set of REST calls) or the basic [WayBack] My JSON Server – Fake online REST server for teams that allows you to respond it to a db.json file from github:
Fake Online REST server for teams
Create a JSON file on GitHub
github.com/user/repo/master/db.json{ "posts": [ { "id": 1, "title": "hello" } ], "profile": { "name": "typicode" } }Get instantly a fake server
my-json-server.typicode.com/user/repo/posts/1{ "id": 1, "title": "hello" }
