Check out datasette. It helps you explore a SQLite database, and exposes an JSON API with almost no configuration. It has a GraphQL plugin if that's your thing.

All you have to do is dump your data into a SQLite database and serve it with datasette.

json-server is my favorite tool to do this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-server

Just point it at a json data file and smile.

Should mention its cousin json-graphql-server:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-graphql-server

Some quick recipes to use both: https://www.cueblox.com/recipes/

Python flask
