The tool is useful for frontend developers, students, and anyone building or testing applications that consume APIs.

Key Features

Define custom JSON responses.
Create mock API endpoints with custom paths.
Support different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Select custom HTTP status codes (200, 404, 500, etc.).
Preview mock responses instantly.
Copy mock endpoint details and JSON responses.
Save mock configurations locally using Local Storage.
