How APIGIT Mock Server Works

APIGIT MockServer simplifies the creation of mock APIs by providing a lightweight wrapper around Express.js. It eliminates the need to manually configure Express applications while delivering all the power needed for effective API mocking during development and testing phases.

Operating in a Node.js sandbox environment, MockServer enables developers to quickly define API endpoints and behaviors through intuitive interfaces. This introduction covers essential features and demonstrates how to quickly implement mock APIs for your development workflow.

Key Features

• Powered by Express.js: Leverage familiar Express.js patterns without configuration overhead
• Rich Library Ecosystem: Access pre-installed utilities including lodash, moment, and faker for generating realistic data
• Complete Request Control: Define custom routes, middleware, and request handlers with full HTTP method support
• Stateful Operations: Maintain data persistence between requests using built-in state management
• Developer-Friendly Structure: Organize mock definitions using modular patterns aligned with production development practices
• API Spec to Mock Server Conversion: Support quick conversion to mock API form API Spec.

The MockServer approach dramatically reduces the time between API specification and having a working mock implementation, accelerating the entire development lifecycle.
