🔧 INSTALL

📖 USAGE

$ json-now

Then try it like $ curl http://localhost:3003/users

Serve data from a JSON file:

Create db.json file, then run json-now to start a HTTPS server at port 3003:

{
  "posts": [
    { "id": 1, "title": "Post title 1" },
    { "id": 2, "title": "Post title 2" }
  ]
}
$ json-now db.json
$ json-now -k keyFile -c certFile -p 3003 -w db.json

Or create a .js file and use "faker" data like generateData.js
