Advanced HTTP Mocking with
summary
WireMock runs as an embedded HTTP server on device or on desktop, can record and playback live traffic (files + mappings saved during proxying to S3), and serves programmatic or REST-API stubs with header/body/regex/query matching, delays, faults, B64 bodies and scenario mappings for stateful sequences. Tests verify calls with Mockito‑like syntax and reset scenarios programmatically. Capital One uses it two years in Wallet; caveats: ~73,000 methods increases multidex needs, recommend minSdk 21 and prefer programmatic stubs for time‑sensitive or generated responses.
