An Angular library that intercepts Http and HttpClient requests and redirects them to an in-memory data store, emulating a REST API with CRUD operations. It is intended for demos, prototypes, and tests rather than production use, and the code has since moved into the angular/angular repo.

Use cases

• simulate a REST backend for Angular demo apps without running a server
• prototype CRUD apps quickly before building a real API
• share live Angular examples on Plunker or CodePen
• unit test apps that read and write data with a resettable data store
• run end-to-end tests in CI without touching a real database
• stub out collections not yet implemented on a dev server

When to choose

• building Angular demos, tutorials, or prototypes that need fake CRUD persistence
• writing Angular unit or e2e tests that need consistent in-memory HTTP responses
• sharing runnable Angular examples in browser coding environments

When to avoid

• production applications needing a real backend
• projects needing faithful emulation of complex real-world web APIs
• teams needing active maintenance or stable guarantees - the repo is archived and always experimental
