Answer 1

So, if you are planning to go with "Apache Tomcat" for hosting your JSON file,

1> After starting up the server, verify that your Apache Tomcat is up and running by going to this url: "localhost:8080" -

2> Next, go to the "webapps" folder - "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.5\webapps". And, create a project folder or copy your project folder.

3> Paste your json file over there.

4> And that's it. You are done! Just go to - "http://localhost:8080/$project_name$/$jsonFile_name$.json"
