## What is Mockable?

Mockable is an **online tool** that allows developers to create mock APIs for **testing and prototyping applications**. It enables users to simulate RESTful APIs by setting up endpoints and defining responses without the need for a live server. This tool is commonly used during the development process to test front-end applications when back-end services are not available.
The platform offers a straightforward interface where users can create endpoints, define responses, and manage their mock services.

## What is Mockoon?

Mockoon is a set of open-source tools that allow developers to mock APIs quickly and easily. It offers an **offline-first and privacy friendly** desktop application to design and run mock APIs locally. A CLI and various libraries are also available to **deploy your mock APIs anywhere**: CI/CD pipelines, servers, etc.

Mockoon features include a powerful **templating system** to generate dynamic and realistic mock data, a **rules system**, a **proxy mode** to partially mock API endpoints, and many customization options: status codes, dynamic headers, TLS, file serving, etc.

Mockoon Cloud is also available for teams and organizations looking for a **cloud-based solution**. It enables teams to **collaborate on API mocking projects** and **share mock APIs** with others by deploying them to the cloud.
