I am just wondering if you someone could shed light on how this js/json application works?

I am trying to make something similar but can''t find how it was done and whether it is server side rendered or client side. etc.

Thanks in advance. JJ

I just see json blob

Yes, my question is how can you achieve the .js url to output different json blob depending on the url argument passed. E.g. The same url when passed the following argument returns the output of an article.
