Playground API Offers Persistent Mock REST Endpoints for Devs

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Playground API is a zero-config mock REST API that persists CRUD state across requests, unlike traditional mocks like JSONPlaceholder. It provides isolated developer sessions with built-in interactive inspector and requires no signup or local setup. The service targets frontend developers, QA engineers, and prototypers needing realistic data flows.

Meridian48 take
A handy tool for prototyping, but its long-term utility depends on whether it can scale beyond simple demos and avoid becoming another abandoned side project.
