In my pursuit of efficient data management, I recently created a static site JSON database that serves as a read-only API. This project is designed to store essential information about my personal details and projects, making it universally accessible and easy to update.
Overview
The repository for this project can be found here. It utilizes JSON files to store data, ensuring that the database is lightweight and fast. As I expand my projects, I can easily add new entries to this database as needed.
Why JSON Database?
- Cost-Effective: This solution is free and offers a long-term storage option without the complications and costs associated with traditional databases.
- Easy Accessibility: The JSON database can be accessed from anywhere, making it flexible for various usage scenarios.
- Simplicity: Using JSON files keeps things simple and eliminates the need for complex setups or management interfaces.
Updating with Decap CMS
To manage and update my JSON database, I utilize Decap CMS. This headless content management system allows me to edit the JSON files through a user-friendly interface, making updates straightforward and hassle-free.
Future Plans
As I continue to expand my projects, I plan to add more data to this JSON database. The goal is to create a comprehensive read-only API that provides valuable information effortlessly.
Conclusion
The journey of creating my JSON database has been both fulfilling and practical. If you're looking for a cost-effective, universal solution for storing API data, consider a static JSON database. It's an efficient way to maintain information that is easy to access and update!
