Brilliant idea! Bookmarked. Will use.

Some wish list:

- implement seed number (to get same results every time)

- json endpoint

- little bit more of data types

Yes! A JSON RESTful API GET endpoint would be SWEET! Easy scriptable way to populate a local testing / design resources folder with some fast starter data. Just to name one possible use that came instantly to mind for my uses. Love the random seed idea, too.
Those are great ideas. I hadn't thought of including a seed, but it shouldn't be too hard to set up. What kinds of data types are you imagining?
