## What it is
Proxelar is a scriptable local MITM proxy workbench written in Rust for inspecting, intercepting, replaying, and rewriting HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket traffic. It offers TUI, terminal, web GUI, and headless REST API interfaces, with Lua hooks for automated request/response transforms.

## Use cases
- debug api requests and responses from a local app
- inspect https traffic from browser or mobile apps
- intercept and edit requests before forwarding them
- mock or redirect upstream services during development
- replay captured requests from har or curl files
- debug websocket connections frame by frame
- automate traffic rewriting with lua scripts
- capture traffic via socks5 or wireguard modes

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight single-binary mitm proxy for local debugging
- you prefer terminal-first or scriptable tooling over a full security suite
- you need lua-scriptable request/response transforms with hot reload
- you want portable sessions with har, curl, and raw http import/export

## When to avoid
- you need full http/2 or http/3 interception
- you require security scanning, collaborative testing, or a large addon ecosystem
- you need an enterprise-grade proxy for production traffic
