## What it is
Mocker is a Swift library that mocks data requests from URLSession and Alamofire using a custom URLProtocol, without changing app code. It lets developers run networking unit tests offline with registered mock responses.

## Use cases
- mock URLSession requests in unit tests
- mock Alamofire requests without changing implementation
- run networking tests offline
- mock JSON API responses in Swift tests
- simulate delayed or redirect responses in tests
- mock requests based on file extension

## When to choose
- you write Swift unit tests that hit URLSession or Alamofire networking
- you want deterministic, offline network tests on Apple platforms
- you need to simulate delays, redirects, or specific response files

## When to avoid
- you need mocking for non-Apple platforms or non-Swift stacks
- you want full HTTP server simulation rather than URLProtocol interception
- your tests use networking libraries that bypass URL loading system protocols
