- Bonus: Make the JSON viewer collapsible and color coded.
- Bonus: Add filtering options which change the arguments to the API endpoint.
- Bonus: Compile data from two or more sources and provide it in one JSON viewer.
- Below are some sample API endpoints, but you may choose your own if desired as long as it returns valid JSON data:
