Here is what Wikipedia says about Lorem Ipsum: “In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum (derived from Latin dolorem ipsum, translated as “pain itself”) is a filler text commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation. Replacing meaningful content with placeholder text allows designers to design the form of the content before the content itself has been produced.” I got the following filler text from www.lipsum.com by clicking the Generate button.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec eu varius sapien, sed laoreet arcu. Donec in lacus eget sem placerat rutrum. Nullam id lectus mauris. Nulla lobortis, leo et sollicitudin congue, neque nunc scelerisque sapien, non convallis nulla lorem sed odio. Etiam sed purus massa. Quisque auctor ipsum leo, et posuere ante euismod et. Nulla ornare pulvinar consectetur.

Fusce ac arcu nisi. Vestibulum vehicula lobortis nunc, non vehicula risus sodales eget. Donec tristique, enim at mattis luctus, mauris dolor facilisis velit, et sodales est est et risus. Proin sagittis lectus id pellentesque tempor. Aenean volutpat eget nunc sed venenatis. Quisque malesuada ac lorem suscipit condimentum. Pellentesque nibh mi, dignissim in dictum id, suscipit a quam. Donec ac risus dignissim, hendrerit odio a, malesuada libero. Sed dignissim risus id urna ornare ullamcorper.

Ut euismod, tellus interdum lobortis pretium, dolor orci dapibus metus, sit amet gravida ligula risus a ex. Cras consequat sagittis urna euismod pretium. Maecenas elementum congue nunc, ac luctus risus vehicula id. In vitae enim vitae magna dapibus consequat. Duis euismod, purus ut ultrices auctor, tortor nisi ullamcorper quam, et mollis odio lacus et est. Aenean metus lacus, hendrerit id dapibus ut, tincidunt in quam. Nulla nulla ex, rutrum id malesuada at, egestas accumsan velit. Aenean laoreet mauris diam, sed posuere massa dapibus sit amet. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Cras nunc quam, hendrerit quis felis vitae, semper auctor tellus. Duis non iaculis ipsum, non tincidunt odio. Morbi consequat eu massa eu venenatis.

JSON Placeholder

Are you a web developer that needs to test REST API? You can go to the JSON Placeholder website to test your connection to a REST API. It is for “Fake Online REST API for Testing and Prototyping”, as the website says. JSONPlaceholder is a free online REST service that you can use whenever you need some fake data. It’s great for tutorials, faking a server, sharing code examples.
