Jsonplaceholder

Jsonplaceholder - mock REST APIs for testing | Awesome Repos

Features

REST API Mock Servers - Implements a mock server that provides predefined resources and standard HTTP verbs to simulate a backend.
Static JSON Stores - Uses flat JSON files as a read-only data store to serve consistent mock responses.
Frontend API Mocking - Provides a hosted environment for simulating backend API responses and endpoints during frontend development.
JSON Mocking Services - Provides simulated JSON data across multiple endpoints to prototype applications without a live database.
REST API Prototyping Tools - Enables building and testing frontend applications that require a functional API before the backend is developed.
API Mocking - Simulates API responses to facilitate development and testing without live backend services.
Mock Data Generators - Provides realistic placeholder JSON data for testing and development.
Frontend Integration Testing - Verifies how user interfaces handle various JSON responses and HTTP status codes.
Client-Side API Simulations - Emulates a backend lifecycle via a hosted API to enable decoupled frontend development.
Relational Resource Mapping - Resolves relational data by linking child resource collections to parent entities via URL paths.
Mock Data Utilities - Provides predefined datasets of users, posts, and comments to populate applications during development.
Nested Resource Routing - Retrieves related data through nested routing to simulate one-to-many relationships between entities.
API Client Debugging Tools - Allows testing the behavior of HTTP clients against a stable and predictable set of REST endpoints.
Query Parameter Filters - Provides mechanisms for refining mock resource collections using API query parameters.
CORS Header Management - Configures CORS headers to allow browser-based requests from any external domain.
Stateless Request Processing - Handles CRUD operations statelessly by returning success responses without persisting changes.
Mock Mutation Simulation - Simulates state-changing CRUD operations by returning success codes without altering the static data store.
Cross-Domain Request Handling - Implements CORS and JSONP to enable data exchange between different browser origins.
Pattern-Based Route Mapping - Maps incoming HTTP request paths to specific JSON data collections using predefined URL patterns.

Mock is a JavaScript API mocking tool and network request interceptor designed to decouple front-end development from back-end progress. It functions as an API simulation tool and mock data generator, allowing developers to build user interfaces and high-fidelity prototypes by mimicking the request and response cycle without a live server. The system provides a mechanism for intercepting outgoing HTTP calls and returning simulated data. It enables front-end prototyping by generating synthetic datasets to validate application behavior during automated testing cycles and development. Capabilit

Mirage JS is a browser-based mock server and client-side API simulator designed for JavaScript application development. It functions as a mocking tool that intercepts network requests to simulate backend API behavior, allowing developers to build and test frontend interfaces without requiring live backend infrastructure. The tool provides a simulation layer that mimics REST endpoints to facilitate rapid prototyping of user flows and application logic. It enables the creation of fake server responses directly within the web browser to verify how an application handles various data scenarios an

MSW is a JavaScript API mocking library and integration testing tool designed to intercept network requests at the network level. It allows for the definition of mock data and status codes using routing syntax to simulate server responses without requiring changes to the application source code. The project utilizes a service worker to proxy API calls in the browser, providing a mechanism for isolated frontend development and testing. It employs platform-specific network adapters to maintain a consistent mocking interface across both browser and Node.js environments. The library covers a ran

json-server is a development toolset used to simulate a full REST API from a JSON file. It functions as a customizable mock API server that allows for the simulation of CRUD operations and resource relationships without the need to write backend code. The project enables rapid prototyping by generating a fake backend that persists data changes back to a local JSON file. It distinguishes itself by providing a static asset file server to deliver local documents, images, and stylesheets alongside the mock API endpoints. The server includes capabilities for data querying, such as parameter-based
