JSON Server VS TablesReady

• Ease of Setup
  JSON Server can be set up quickly with minimal configuration, making it ideal for prototyping and rapid development. It allows developers to have a fully functioning REST API within minutes.
• RESTful API
  It provides a standard RESTful API out of the box, allowing developers to perform all CRUD operations. This is helpful for simulating a real-world server while testing client-side applications.
• Customization
  JSON Server supports middlewares, routes, and custom rules, allowing developers to customize the behavior and structure of the API to better suit their needs.
• Fakes Backend Data
  It's great for simulating backend responses without needing a real backend setup, useful in front-end development to test components and interactions.
• Lightweight
  As a lightweight server, it requires fewer resources and is quite simple compared to setting up a full-fledged backend server.

Possible disadvantages

• Not for Production
  JSON Server is designed for development and testing. It is not suitable for production use due to performance limits and lack of robust security features.
• Limited Functionality
  While JSON Server is great for basic CRUD operations, it lacks advanced features like authentication, authorization, and complex querying.
• Data Persistence
  Data is stored in a JSON file, and while this is convenient for testing, it is not suitable for applications that require persistent and scalable data storage.
• In-memory Limitations
  Being an in-memory server, it may have issues with handling large datasets or complex data structures efficiently.
• Manual Data Reset
  Any changes made to the JSON file while the server is running require manual resets or reloads to reflect in the API, which can be cumbersome during continuous development cycles.

• Shared digital waitlist
  One live list across every device, with unlimited users on every plan.
• Text and call notifications
  One tap tells a guest their table or turn is ready. Two-way texting starts on Starter.
• Guest self check-in
  By QR code, from your website or at a self check-in iPad, with a public place-in-line page.
• Reservations and table management
  Basic reservations on every plan. Online bookings and a floor plan come with Business.
• Integrations
  Square, Reserve with Google, Stripe and Zapier on Business.
