WireMock

WireMock is an open source tool for mocking HTTP services and APIs. It enables developers to build stable, predictable development environments by creating mock APIs that simulate the behavior of real services. WireMock provides a comprehensive admin API for managing stub mappings, recording real traffic, verifying requests, and modeling stateful behavior through scenarios. The project is governed by the WireMock community on GitHub and supports Java, Python, JavaScript, .NET, Go, PHP, and Kotlin clients.

WireMock publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Near Misses API, Recordings API, Requests API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include API Mocking, Mock Server, Mocking, Platform, and Stubs.

The WireMock catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

WireMock’s developer surface includes documentation and 19 more developer resources.
