## What it is
A CLI tool that mocks GraphQL APIs with realistic faked data based on GraphQL SDL, using @fake, @examples, and @listLength directives with no coding required. It can also proxy an existing GraphQL API and extend it with mock data mixed with real responses.

## Use cases
- mock a graphql api before the backend exists
- generate fake data for graphql queries from an sdl schema
- extend an existing graphql api with extra faked fields
- spin up a local graphql mock server for frontend development
- test client integrations against realistic fake graphql responses

## When to choose
- you need a graphql mock server quickly without writing code
- you want to prototype an api design in sdl with realistic data
- you need to mix real upstream graphql data with mocked fields

## When to avoid
- you need deterministic or stateful mock behavior with custom resolvers
- your mocks must run in CI without a node runtime and you prefer a library
- you need mocking for REST or gRPC rather than graphql
