## What it is
A jQuery plugin that mocks and simulates ajax requests and responses so front-end code can be tested without a live server. It intercepts $.ajax() calls and returns configurable mock responses, statuses, headers, and latency.

## Use cases
- mock ajax requests in front-end unit tests
- simulate API responses without a backend server
- test error handling by simulating HTTP status codes and timeouts
- simulate network latency in jQuery ajax calls
- mock JSONP requests during testing

## When to choose
- you are testing jQuery-based front-end code that uses $.ajax()
- you need fine-grained control over mocked responses, headers, and latency
- you want request matching by URL, data, headers, or HTTP method

## When to avoid
- your front end does not use jQuery's ajax methods
- you need mocking for fetch or axios instead
- you want a mock server for integration or production use
