Mentoss is a utility library for mocking JavaScript fetch() requests and responses in testing environments. It provides three primary classes: MockServer for defining request/response routes, FetchMocker for creating mocked fetch functions that work with one or more MockServers, and MockAgent for undici Dispatcher support in Node.js environments. The library handles complex HTTP features including CORS, credentials, redirects, and various request matching scenarios (URL parameters, headers, body content). The architecture is modular and well-separated, with distinct responsibilities for route matching (request-matcher.js), CORS handling (cors.js), cookie management (cookie-credentials.js), and request/response processing. Each MockServer instance maintains its own route registry and tracks which routes have been called, enabling precise test assertions. The FetchMocker coordinates multiple servers and handles cross-origin requests with proper CORS preflighting and credential attachment. Mentoss is designed for use in test suites where developers need to simulate HTTP interactions without making actual network calls. It supports both browser-like fetch() behavior (with baseUrl and credentials options) and Node.js undici/fetch() usage (via MockAgent). The library includes comprehensive testing helpers to verify which routes were called, assert all routes were exercised, and diagnose mismatched requests through detailed tracing.
govcr is a Go library that records and replays HTTP/HTTPS interactions for testing purposes, acting as an HTTP mock. It wraps an http.Client to intercept requests, either playing back recorded responses from cassette files (JSON) or making live requests and recording them. The library supports various modes (normal, live-only, offline, read-only), cassette encryption (AES-GCM, ChaCha20Poly1305), multiple storage backends (local filesystem, AWS S3), flexible request matching, and request/response transformation via mutators. The architecture centers around a custom http.RoundTripper implementation that integrates cassette storage, request matching, mutation systems, and encryption layers.
