Bacon Ipsum
A Meatier Lorem Ipsum Generator.
About Bacon Ipsum
Bacon Ipsum is a REST API that generates meat-themed lorem ipsum placeholder text. Requests are made via HTTPS GET with parameters controlling output type (all-meat or meat-and-filler, which mixes meat terms with standard lorem ipsum filler), number of paragraphs or sentences, whether the first paragraph starts with "Bacon ipsum dolor sit amet," and response format (JSON, text, or HTML).
The API returns a JSON string array of paragraphs by default, with text and HTML output also supported. It accepts a JSONP callback parameter for use in client-side scripts such as jQuery.
The service is aimed at developers who need placeholder text for mockups, prototypes, or testing, and can be called directly via GET requests from any application.
