Comprehensive

Responds with parsed request body for multipart and form-ulrencoded content types. Supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.CORS is supported on this mock server, and OPTIONs calls will pass.

Debug Faster

Get instant feedback by receiving echoed content of the request. This makes it easy to verify that the data sent in the request matches what you intended.
