Mockambo is an API mocking server that packs a lot of useful features to:
- generate mocked APIs on the fly based on OpenAPI specifications without additional configuration
- Validate requests and responses against the contract
- Fake data coherently
- Script the behavior of the mocks using JavaScript
- Load dynamic templates to make the mocks even more alive
- Work as a reverse proxy request/response recorder and playback
All this by simply altering the OpenAPI specification, adding the x-mockambo extension sections where necessary.
Mockambo is a powerful Swiss Army knife for the following activities:
- Design first API development
- 3rd party API exploration and client development
- Service isolation during development and testing
- Contract testing of both clients and servers
- Offline development
- CI/CD pipeline testing
