JSON format guide

Sample JSON files

Small sample JSON files with fictional users, projects and tasks, including nulls, Unicode, nested objects and arrays. Download one, or fetch the URL from a test, demo or prototype. Pick a whole collection (3 users, 2 projects or 3 tasks) or a single record. The 11 files range from 176 B to 1.6 KB.

No account or API key is needed. A published v1 file never changes, its SHA-256 is listed in the manifest, and the data is CC0, so you can also commit a copy to your own repository.
