## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
