Easy Mock is a self-hostable persistent web service that generates mock API data quickly and provides a visual interface for defining and managing mock endpoints. It supports RESTful APIs, Swagger/OpenAPI project imports, collaborative editing, team projects, custom response configuration, and API proxying.

Use cases

• generate mock data for a REST API
• spin up a mock server for frontend development
• create fake API endpoints from a Swagger/OpenAPI spec
• simulate a backend API before it is built
• self-host a visual API mocking service for my team
• collaboratively edit mock API responses

When to choose

• Your frontend team needs realistic, persistent mock endpoints before the real backend exists
• You want a web UI with team projects, collaborative editing, and Swagger/OpenAPI import
• You need custom response behavior such as status codes, headers, and cookies, or proxying to a real API

When to avoid

• You need actively maintained software with modern Node.js support, as development has been largely dormant
• You only need lightweight in-process mocking for unit tests, where a mocking library fits better
• You do not want to operate the required MongoDB and Redis dependencies
