1.

Store JSON online

Use n:point as a lightweight
backend while you prototype
your app or website.

2.

Lock the schema

Define the structure of your data with JSON Schema . When you're ready, lock the schema so it can never change again.

3.

Edit with a friend

Let others make changes to the
saved data. With the schema
locked, you can be sure edits
won't break your app.

Features

This list is built on n:point!
Check it out at npoint.io/docs/features, or via the API at api.npoint.io/features.

  • Schema validation

    Add JSON Schema to enforce the structure of your data

  • Schema and data locking

    Once you're confident that your schema or data won't change, lock them down so your app will never break

  • Flexible syntax

    Forget the quotes! You can use javascript object syntax ({ a: 1 } instead of { "a": 1 })

  • Sub-property access

    If you just need a piece of your JSON data, you can add property keys or array indexes to your API URL (Example: api.npoint.io/features/0/description)

  • Protected editing

    Once you're logged in, all JSON bins you create are associated with your account so only you can edit the data

  • CORS support

    n:point sets the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * in API responses, so you can access the API from anywhere

Usage and limits

What started out as a hobby project to help with prototyping has turned into a service serving over 2,000 requests/minute for over 25,000 JSON bins.

To keep everything running smoothly, n:point now rate-limits requests as follows:

  • 100 requests/min per IP address
  • 600 requests/min per JSON bin

n:point is a one-way JSON store: edit online, fetch via GET requests over API. Editing data over the API via POST requests is in private beta. Even once released, n:point is not meant to be a full backend for your app.

Contact support@npoint.io if you have any questions!

Open source

n:point is completely open source and hosted on Github.

Contributions are welcome! There are also instructions in case you want to self-host your own instance.
