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"
}

For my archive: the [WayBack] How do I pretty-print JSON in Delphi? – Stack Overflow answer by [WayBack] Bob:
If you do not want to use any external library, and you’re using a Delphi XE5 or newer, there is a very handy TJson.Format() function in the REST.Json unit.
uses json, REST.Json;
{ ... }
function FormatJSON(json: String): String;
var
tmpJson: TJsonObject;
begin
tmpJson := TJSONObject.ParseJSONValue(json);
Result := TJson.Format(tmpJson);
FreeAndNil(tmpJson);
end;

Two interesting sites to ease transforming JSON fragments in log-messages to a table system, for instance Excel.
- Paste the bits in [WayBack] Best JSON Pretty Print Online then fix any syntax errors.
- Copy from there to [WayBack] json2table.com and press the triangle button (run)
- Copy either the tabular or tree result to your favourite program.
- Format any numbers for readability. I really like the
Custom format ##0.00E+00 that just shows the exponents in multiples of 3 (so kilo, mega, giga, etc)[WayBack] formatting – How can I format bytes a cell in Excel as KB, MB, GB etc? – Stack Overflow
This way I copied the example code into adjecent Excel areas, so I could compare the values and calculate memory increase of a Delphi application.

For my link archive:
Back-ticks can be very useful for instance when you need to specifying json tags.
References for that:
