WireMock is an open-source API simulation tool that lets you simulate HTTP services and dependencies by stubbing responses, matching requests on URL, headers, query parameters, and body, and using dynamic Handlebars templating. It supports recording and playback, fault simulation, request verification, and extensibility, and can run as a standalone server or be embedded in tests with integrations for Maven, Gradle, and JUnit. WireMock Cloud provides an enterprise API simulation platform with collaboration, stateful mocks, AI-assisted features, and hybrid/on-prem/cloud deployment, plus the WireMock Runner for local, private cloud, or CI/CD environments.
