A mock API, also known as a mock server or mock endpoint, is a simulated version of a real API (Application Programming Interface). Mock APIs serve several important purposes in the software development process:

*Testing and Development:*

Developers can start building and testing their applications before the actual API is fully developed or available. This helps in identifying issues and iterating quickly.

*Reducing Costs:*

Developing and maintaining mock APIs is typically cheaper than using and sometimes even paying for access to real APIs during development.

*Dependency Management:*

Mock APIs help in situations where the real API is not yet available, has limited access, or is in development by another team or organization. Developers can proceed with their work without waiting for the API to be ready.
