What is MockBolt and how does it replace json-server?

MockBolt generates instant public mock API endpoints from pasted JSON—no install, no signup. Unlike local json-server, it's shareable, hosted, with delays/statuses.

How do I use MockBolt for frontend testing ?

Paste JSON response, pick method/status/delay, generate URL. Test loading states, errors via curl/fetch/axios. Management URL edits anytime.

Does MockBolt work for team collaboration?

Yes—public URLs share easily. Secret management stays private. Free 24h, rate-limited for fairness.
