#2I've been using this in conjunction with chance.js making it very easy to generate complex data sets

#3I always liked this library. Wrote a tutorial around the concept of it on websesign tuts a few years back, though I'm not sure how dated it is in relation to the API now (http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/filler-content-tools...). Anyway, it deals with one way the library could be used in the browser, in combination with other filler content services, to aid "designing" in the browser.

#4+1 for using hook.io for the hosted API. I just love this service and think this is a great use case for it. Will support it on kickstarter.

Hook.io is still a thing? I didn't hear anything about it after the drama back in the days.

Until I googled it just now, I actually didn't know about this whole drama. I've been using it for the last year and had a really good experience.

Could be used for both. I've used it for generating test data in unit/integration tests and also for obfuscation where production-dumps are needed.
It's useful for having in development as well, when you need to have X number of forms and X number of users but you don't want to have to manually create that every time you re-create the environment.
