## Description

Easy Mock is a tool for API mocking and simulation that allows for the creation of fake server responses using schemas. It enables the generation of mock API data and the implementation of OpenAPI specifications to align development with technical contracts.

The project supports collaborative API design through a shared workspace where team members can synchronize and manage mock endpoints. It also features specification-driven bootstrapping, which automatically constructs mock environments by importing standard API definition files.

The system provides API development proxying to forward requests to live backend servers when a mock response is not configured. Additionally, it includes API environment access control to restrict server access based on IP addresses.
