Prism is an open-source HTTP mock and proxy server designed to accelerate API development. It leverages OpenAPI documents to create realistic mock servers, enabling developers to prototype and test APIs without writing code.
Key Features:
- Realistic Mocking: Generates mock HTTP servers from OpenAPI v2/v3 documents.
- Early Feedback: Facilitates early user feedback during the API design phase.
- Parallel Development: Enables frontend and backend teams to work concurrently.
- Dynamic Examples: Generates dynamic, random examples based on the API description.
- Validation: Validates both request and response data against the API description.
- Mocking Callbacks: Supports OpenAPI v3.0 callbacks for advanced API interactions.
- Validation Proxy: Identifies discrepancies between the OpenAPI document and the target API.
Use Cases:
- API Prototyping
- Frontend Development
- Backend Development
- API Testing
- Contract Testing
- API Governance
