## What it is
HttpLive is a Go-based mock HTTP server with a built-in web UI for defining dynamic URL routes and JSON responses, aimed at API designers and mobile/web developers. It stores route configurations in a shareable key-value database file and supports multi-port hosting with round-robin load balancing.

## Use cases
- mock REST API endpoints for frontend development
- test mobile apps without a real backend
- simulate proxy responses for testing
- define custom JSON responses with dynamic URL routing
- share mock API configurations with teammates
- run load-balanced mock servers on multiple ports

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight mock HTTP server with a UI
- you develop mobile or web apps against an unfinished backend
- you want portable, file-based mock configurations
- you need multi-port round-robin load balancing in a mock tool

## When to avoid
- you need contract testing or OpenAPI-based mocking
- you require actively maintained tooling (last release 2022)
- you need advanced features like request recording or stateful scenarios
- you prefer declarative config files over a UI
