Postman Mock Server vs JSON Server
Developers should use Postman Mock Server when building or testing applications that depend on APIs that are not yet implemented or are unstable meets developers should use json server when they need to rapidly prototype front-end applications, test api integrations, or simulate backend behavior without writing server-side code. Here's our take.

Postman Mock Server
Nice PickDevelopers should use Postman Mock Server when building or testing applications that depend on APIs that are not yet implemented or are unstable
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for frontend developers who need to prototype UI components without waiting for backend completion, and for QA teams to test integrations in isolation
- +Related to: postman, api-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
JSON Server
Developers should use JSON Server when they need to rapidly prototype front-end applications, test API integrations, or simulate backend behavior without writing server-side code
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for front-end developers working on projects where the backend is not yet ready, for creating demos, or for teaching REST API concepts in tutorials and workshops
- +Related to: node-js, rest-api
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Postman Mock Server if: You want it is particularly useful for frontend developers who need to prototype ui components without waiting for backend completion, and for qa teams to test integrations in isolation and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use JSON Server if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for front-end developers working on projects where the backend is not yet ready, for creating demos, or for teaching rest api concepts in tutorials and workshops over what Postman Mock Server offers.
