Is there an emulated tag so that you can test the json configuration without a real tag?

There isn't.
If you use an AP with a TFT screen (like the YellowAP or the mini AP v3/4), you can use that to test, as the tft screen is also usable as a tag.

Or if you have a spare esp32 and tft screen on hand, you can use this:

It acts like a tag, and updates instantly (no need to wait for the next checkin if you change content). The script also contains some code to send OEPL content to a label printer, so you have to remove that part. ;-)
