Overview

Random Advice Generator is a single‑page web application that fetches random advice using the Advice Slip JSON API. In addition to fetching advice, the app allows users to save their favorite advice messages in a list and export this list in various formats (JSON, CSV, and SQL). Built with HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript, this app is lightweight, responsive, and easy to use.

Features

• Random Advice Fetching: Retrieve a new piece of advice instantly by clicking the "Get Advice" button.
• Save Advice: Add the displayed advice to a saved list with the "Add to List" button.
• Export Options: Export your saved advice list as:
  • JSON: For data interchange.
  • CSV: Compatible with spreadsheets and data analysis tools.
  • SQL: Generates SQL INSERT statements for database integration.
• Responsive Design: A modern, responsive UI that works seamlessly across devices.

How It Works

1. Fetch Advice: The app sends a request to the Advice Slip JSON API (https://api.adviceslip.com/advice) to retrieve a random piece of advice.
2. Display and Save: The advice is displayed on the screen. Users can then click "Add to List" to save a copy to an internal list.
3. Export Data: Export buttons allow users to download the saved advice list in JSON, CSV, or SQL format. The exported data is generated dynamically using JavaScript and delivered via a download prompt.
