# Introduction

Learn what JSON Server does, who it is for, and where to start when you need a working REST API in about five minutes.

{/* The JSON Server Field Guide is an unofficial, fixture-verified interactive companion for json-server@1.0.0-beta.15. It turns a single JSON file into a live REST API with complete routing, relationship embedding, sorting, and pagination. Every claim and query pattern is proven by ground-truth recorded HTTP fixtures. */}
