HTTP Mock Server Generator is a pure frontend tool for quickly creating Mock API route configurations. Add routes through a visual interface with HTTP method, path, status code, delay and response body. The tool generates json-server config or MSW (Mock Service Worker) code. Supports RESTful routes and various HTTP response scenarios.
Core Features
- Multiple HTTP Methods: GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE
- Status Code Simulation: 200/201/400/401/403/404/500 etc.
- Delay Simulation: 0-5000ms adjustable network delay
- Multi-format Export: json-server config, MSW Handler code
- Route Management: Add/remove routes with live preview
How to Use
Step 1: Select HTTP method, enter path and response data.
Step 2: Set status code and delay time.
Step 3: Click "Add Route". Add multiple routes as needed.
Step 4: Click "Export Config" or "Export MSW" to get the result.
Use Cases
Frontend Development
Use Mock data to drive frontend development when backend API is not ready.
API Testing
Simulate error responses (404/500/timeout) to test frontend error handling.
Product Demos
Build product demos with Mock data without a real backend service.
Extended Knowledge
Mock Servers are common in frontend development. json-server is a lightweight Mock server using JSON files. MSW (Mock Service Worker) intercepts requests at the browser Service Worker layer. Both have advantages: json-server for standalone Mock services, MSW for integration into frontend projects.
FAQ
What is an HTTP Mock server?
An HTTP Mock server simulates real API behavior by returning preset response data for frontend development and testing.
What HTTP methods are supported?
GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and other common HTTP methods.
Can it simulate delays?
Yes. Supports 0-5000ms response delay to simulate slow networks.
Custom status codes?
Yes. Set any HTTP status code like 200/201/400/401/403/404/500.
Is data uploaded?
No. All Mock configuration is done locally in your browser.
How to use the generated config?
Export as json-server config or MSW Handler code for integration.
