Frequently asked questions

Is this a valid JSON file?

Every file parses as valid JSON — no truncated records.

Is the data real?

No. Every name, email address, phone number and company in the file is generated placeholder content. Nothing here relates to a real person, so it is safe to commit to a repository or share with a team.

Can I use it in a commercial project?

Yes. The files are free to use however you like, including in commercial and closed-source work. No attribution required.

Do I need to sign up?

No account, no email, no limit on downloads.
