Usage

Using of JSON Generator is straightforward. First, you must define your JSON template by our simple API. This template is in JSON format. Then, you must call generate function with your JSON template as input. Generate function makes a random JSON object based on your JSON template as the return value.

For your convenience, we provide a script (main.py) that load template from file and generate random JSON object. There is multiple template file in this repository.

API

Name	Description	Usage	Params	Returns
Bool	Random boolean	{{bool}}		Boolean
Choice	Returns random item from passed arguments list.	{{choice([list])}}	list List of string items	String
City	Random city name	{{city}}		String
Company	Random company name	{{company}}		String
Country	Random country name	{{country}}		String
Email	Randim email	email()		String
First name	Random first name	{{first_name}}		String
Floating	Random float number in specified range.	{{floating([min], [max])}}	min Minimum number of in the range, max Maximum number in the range	Float
GUID	Random globally unique identifier (UUID4).	{{guid()}}		String
Integer	Random integer in specified range.	integer([min=0], [max=10])	min Minimum number in the range, max Maximum number in the range.
Name	Random first name and last name	name()		String
Object ID	MongoDB's globally unique identifier for objects.	object_id()		String
Phone	Generates random phone number.	Phone()		String
Repeat	Clones next item in specified range of repeats to make an array. Repeatable object must come exactly after repear command in template	"{{repeat(min, [max])}}", 'this object will be repeated'	min Minimum number of repeats, max Maximum number of repeats	Array
State	Random state name.	state()		String
Last name	Random last bane	last_name()		String

Using this syntax "field_name|optional" in a field name you can make a field as an optional field.

Localization

JSON Generator use Faker package. Faker can take locale as and argument, to return localized data. You can change it with LOCALE variable in locale.py. Default value for LOCALE is en_US.
