mockoon VS express-openapi-validator

Mockoon - Used as a logging server instead of using print in the console.

Hopefully, 2024 is the year I can stop freelancing and live the dream! Work on an open-source project I love while not feeling guilty about not bringing enough money home :D

The project I'm working on is https://mockoon.com

Mockoon- Mockoon is the easiest and quickest way to design and run mock REST APIs.

Startup Name / URL: Mockoon (https://mockoon.com)

If you are looking for something with a GUI, I made https://mockoon.com It's open source, supports Faker.js and has a CLI to run the mocks in your CI env (or elsewhere).

I maintain an open-source app built with Electron. It serves tens of thousands of users every months and nobody complained in 5 years that it is being built with Electron. Not saying that Electron is perfect, and that it couldn't be a bit more performant, but as a solo maintainer (and entrepreneur) it helps me ship something that save people time. The burden of maintaining an application is already huge. Having to juggle with multiple environments would be a hassle and I definitely wouldn't do it.

That being said, if a "drop-in" alternative would be available I would probably try to switch at one point. But the alternative would have to be on par with the ecosystem (including packaging, binaries signing, etc.), the community, the ease of use... I don't think there is such a thing yet.

The app, if you are interested: https://mockoon.com

Company: https://mockoon.com

I recommend Mockoon https://mockoon.com/ it’s simple like Postman without create mock api server with code

This may not be what you're looking for, but have you seen Mockoon?

The build step is where I put all of them together, which is the messy and tricky part. Although not directly related to your question, I also use this validation tool to handle request validation based on my result yml.

express-openapi-validator Express middleware that routes and validates requests according to an OpenAPI spec.

The express-openapi-validator package addresses this issue by validating requests and responses based on a provided OpenAPI spec. Having our responses validated in addition to just the requests will be a good idea as that will ensure the API code always responds in the expected schema.
