MSW: Detailed Overview & Metrics
MSW (Mock Service Worker) is a powerful library for mocking HTTP requests in development and testing environments. It intercepts requests made by your application and allows you to define custom responses, enabling you to simulate various scenarios without relying on actual backend services. MSW is easy to set up and configure, providing a flexible and robust solution for testing API interactions.
Compared to alternatives like MirageJS or Nock, MSW offers a simpler and more intuitive API, making it quick to get started with mocking API calls. It is actively maintained and continuously updated to support the latest features and best practices in API mocking.
