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, making it ideal for creating consistent and reliable mocks for your frontend applications.
Compared to alternatives like MirageJS or Nock, MSW stands out for its simplicity and flexibility. It seamlessly integrates with popular testing frameworks like Jest and Cypress, providing a smooth experience for mocking API interactions.
