#19 JSON Server Setup – Create a Fake REST API for Next.js
In this video, we’ll set up JSON Server to create a fake REST API for our Next.js project.
JSON Server is a powerful tool that allows you to quickly simulate a backend using a simple JSON file. This is especially useful during development when you don’t have a real backend ready yet.
We’ll go step by step through the installation process, create a sample database, and run a local API server. You’ll also learn how to structure your data and test your endpoints effectively.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll have a fully working mock API that you can use to develop and test your Next.js application.
