## What it is
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
