This data type allows you to quickly preview your page layout by it as your data source. This is filler data for designers to create the UI.
These fields can be used to see what the UI of a page looks like with given types of data, which is helpful when you want to focus on the design and ignore the content. Building this way is also great when the designer isn't familiar with the data structures for a particular design.
