Good afternoon!
We have an application html/css/javascript/backbone/gulp and so on. There is an agreement on the API, but it is not yet fully written. The question is, is it possible to emulate the server somehow? are there any utilities for this?
For example, what would the server always give one response to the same request.

The easiest thing is to change the URL to some local one and put a set of JSON files there. Voila!

If you are using jQuery then the best way is to use the jquery-mockjax plugin . It allows you to flexibly emulate the server API.

There is no reception against scrap: VirtualBox + Linux

In fact, it can be even simpler - just redefine Backbone.sync with your own function for the duration of the tests.

Microsoft fiddler to the rescue. It allows you to set responses to favorite urls
