MirageJS is a client-side server mocking library for frontend developers, allowing them to build, test, and prototype applications without relying on a real backend. It provides a simple and intuitive API for creating mock server endpoints, handling data fixtures, and simulating various server responses like CRUD operations, authentication, and error scenarios.
Compared to alternatives like json-server or mockserver, MirageJS offers more flexibility and control over the mock server behavior, making it ideal for complex frontend development workflows. It also integrates seamlessly with popular frontend frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular.
