🚀 JSON Server Quick Start

Install JSON Server Globally

Global json-server installation

npm install -g @json-express/core

Start your Express JS JSON server


# Navigate to your project
cd my-project

# Create sample JSON data (SQL server JSON ready)
echo '[{"name": "Encore", "releaseDate": "12-11-2004"}]' > albums.json

# Start JSON server
json-server

Local Express JSON Installation

Install JSON server locally

npm install @json-express/core

Run Express JS JSON API with npx


# Create sample JSON data
echo '[{"name": "Encore", "releaseDate": "12-11-2004"}]' > albums.json

# Start json-server alternative
npx json-express

⚙️ Configuration

JSON Express favors convention over configuration, but when you need customization, simply create a config.json file in the same directory as your JSON data files.

Creating a Configuration File

Create config.json in your project directory


# Create config.json in your project directory
echo '{"PORT": "8080"}' > config.json

Available Configuration Options

config.json

{
  "PORT": "8080"
}
