Nocilla is an Objective-C library for stubbing HTTP and HTTPS requests in iOS and macOS unit tests, inspired by WebMock. It intercepts requests via NSURLProtocol and offers a readable DSL for matching requests by URL, headers, body, and regular expressions.

Use cases

• stub http requests in ios unit tests
• mock https api responses in objective-c tests
• test nsurlsession requests with fake responses
• simulate network errors in ios tests
• match requests with regular expressions in tests

When to choose

• you write Objective-C or Swift unit tests for iOS/macOS apps that make HTTP requests
• you want a WebMock-style DSL for stubbing NSURLConnection, NSURLSession, or ASIHTTPRequest
• you need to simulate network errors or regex-matched request stubs

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling with modern Swift-first APIs
• you test Swift code with newer frameworks like URLSession async/await that may not be covered
• your project doesn't use CocoaPods or Objective-C
