⚡LightAPI

Quickly design and prototype API's.
Describe your data structure using the Hash format.
Get JSON test data automatically based on your input.

Use cases

A classical example would be something like this - you're a mobile engineer and you need a new API but it takes forever for the backend guys to build it so you are pretty much blocked until they have something to show.

Using LightAPI you can prototype the API in collaboration and work independently while your team mate can code the real API using the prototype you guys designed as a baseline and you the iOS engineer can also start building and simply replace the endpoint when the official API is ready!
