   Project mention: The best way for testing outbound API calls | dev.to | 2025-02-06

   Another great option is gock, a lib that is also inspired by nock, with a simple and easy API. It works by intercepting any HTTP request made by any http.Client and adding it to a list, so it can check if a mock request exists. If not, an error is returned, unless the real networking mode is on. In that case, the request is done normally.
