Mock API Server

This project is a simple PHP-based mock API server that can be used for testing and development purposes. The server accepts HTTP requests, logs the request details, and responds based on predefined routes specified in the api.json configuration file.

Features

• Request Logging: Logs detailed information about each incoming HTTP request, including headers, body, and query parameters.
• Dynamic Routing: Allows configuration of custom routes and responses via the api.json file.
• Token-Based Authentication: Supports simple token-based authentication for specific routes.
• File Downloads: Enables serving files as responses, useful for testing file download scenarios.

2. Customize the api.json file to define your desired routes and responses.

3. Start the PHP built-in server.

   php -S localhost:8000

4. Send HTTP requests to http://localhost:8000 based on your configured routes.
