A full fake REST API generator written in Rust, inspired by json-server.
What is Weld?
Weld is a fake REST API generator written in Rust that creates a full REST API from a JSON data source. It enables developers to simulate backend services for frontend development, testing, and prototyping without setting up a real server. The project is heavily inspired by json-server but built with Rust for performance and reliability.
Frontend and full-stack developers who need a mock backend for prototyping, testing, or demoing applications without a real API.
Developers choose Weld for its simplicity, speed, and Rust-based reliability, offering a lightweight alternative to json-server with features like nested data access and a powerful query API.
