## What it is
MockIt is a self-hosted tool for quickly creating and managing mocked API endpoints through a web interface, running via Docker. It supports live reload of routes, delays, CORS, basic authentication, and chaos engineering features.

## Use cases
- mock out REST API endpoints before the backend is built
- create a fake API with delays to test loading states
- simulate failing endpoints with chaos engineering
- set up a local mock server with CORS and basic auth
- quickly stub HTTP endpoints without writing server code
- test frontend apps against a configurable fake API

## When to choose
- you need a GUI-driven mock API server running locally via Docker
- you want live-editable routes, delays, auth, and failure simulation out of the box
- your real backend APIs are not ready yet and the frontend needs a real HTTP service

## When to avoid
- you need contract-based mocking from OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas
- you prefer lightweight in-process mocking libraries in your test suite
- you need a maintained tool - the project has seen limited recent activity
