MSW (Mock Service Worker) is a powerful library for mocking HTTP requests in development and testing environments. It allows developers to intercept network requests made by the application and provide mock responses, enabling isolated and predictable testing scenarios. MSW supports various request matching strategies, response customization options, and integration with popular testing frameworks like Jest and Cypress.

Compared to traditional mocking libraries, MSW offers a more declarative and intuitive approach to defining mock server logic. It helps in creating robust and maintainable tests by simulating different network conditions and responses. MSW is actively maintained and recommended for projects requiring reliable and efficient mocking capabilities.
