Many software teams create services exposed as APIs, designed to be consumed by other software and thus without any user-interface. Such services are hard to demonstrate, as they effectively just dump pages of JSON. A demo front-end is a simple user-interface just used to manipulate such an API. Matteo Vaccari describes how and why to build one - showing its usefulness both in explaining the API's capabilities to stakeholders and to help client developers explore how to interact with the API.
