Mockoon is a program for Windows that helps developers create and test REST and GraphQL APIs without a backend. It is possible to build mock interfaces locally with advanced customization options.
Imitations
Once installed, users can create mock APIs in seconds for fast testing without needing a backend server. The app supports multiple environments, enabling developers to switch between different configurations easily. Moreover, it is possible to define custom responses, headers, and delays to simulate real-world programming interface behavior.
There is an option to set API responses with dynamic templating with Handlebars syntax. You can generate random data and handle query parameters efficiently. On top of that, there are detailed logs of incoming requests, including headers, body and query parameters. It is possible to inspect, modify and replay messages to troubleshoot API interactions.
Route
The software supports numerous routes with individual settings, ensuring flexibility in the project structure. There is an option to organize connections with folders, tags and response rules. And last but not least, there is a built-in CLI for automating mocking in CI/CD pipelines. You can run servers in headless mode.
