Features

1. Basic

• GET / POST methods
• Multiple paths
• Multiple .json/.json5 files treated as JSON Response
• based on hyper v1

2. Customization

• Custom HTTP response codes: 3xx as redirects, and 4xx and 5xx as errors
• Custom response headers which are reusable
• Flexible responses with patterns and jsonpath queries. Even with the same API URL path, multiple responses can be returned. See url.paths_patterns
• Can specify response time on all or each API path

3. Dynamic processing

• Can switch data directory paths manually in testing via specific HTTP request to make json responses flexible
• Dynamic path resolution with dyn_data_dir

4. Usability

• Validates configuration: Missing JSON files, duplicate paths etc.
• Prints out routing at startup
• Describes request content on both HTTP headers and body (json or plain text) when verbose log is activated
