json-server is a simple and lightweight npm package that allows you to quickly set up a REST API server using a JSON file as a data source. It is commonly used for prototyping, mocking API responses, and simulating backend behavior during frontend development. With json-server, you can easily define routes, relationships, and custom responses using a simple JSON file, making it ideal for rapid development and testing.

Compared to more complex backend solutions like Express.js or Django, json-server offers a straightforward and minimalistic approach specifically tailored for JSON data. It provides a quick and easy way to create a fully functional API server without the need for a database or complex setup.
