Overview

PhantomJSON is a free, open-source REST API that provides realistic fake data for testing, prototyping, and building demos.

What is PhantomJSON?

• Users with realistic names and emails
• Posts with titles and body content
• Comments on posts
• Todos with completion status

All data is generated using Faker.js for realistic results.
