## What is Requestly?

Requestly is a tool designed for **modifying** and **testing** network requests directly within the browser, often used by developers to **intercept, edit, and redirect HTTP requests** and responses. With a browser extension and cloud capabilities, Requestly allows users to configure custom rules to modify headers, rewrite URLs, and redirect API requests, making it useful for debugging and testing purposes. It includes collaboration features and integrations that enable teams to share and synchronize rule settings. Requestly operates across platforms, with a focus on front-end testing and debugging in web applications.

## 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.
