When to use which?
What The Commit is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. What The Commit works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps. DummyJSON supports HTTPS, which is required for production deployments and secure data handling.
