## Project history and usage

Moco is a Java stub-server and mocking framework from ZHENG Ye's dreamhead/moco project, with copyright dates in the upstream README beginning in 2012. The project was built around a small alternative to deploying temporary WAR files or embedded application servers for HTTP integration testing: write a JSON response description, run the standalone runner, and point tests or clients at the local stub endpoint.

### Project history

Its ecosystem role is deliberately practical. Moco can be embedded as a Java API in JUnit tests, run as a standalone server, or reached through Maven, Gradle, shell, and Scala integrations. The documentation covers HTTP, HTTPS, socket, REST, WebSocket, and SSE APIs, which places it in the Java testing niche alongside mock HTTP servers and service-virtualization tools rather than full API gateways.

### How it is used

The Homebrew formula exposes the `moco` executable for command-line use, while the upstream project also publishes Maven artifacts such as `moco-core` and the standalone runner. The 2.0.0 line moved the project to Java 17 or later, marking a runtime baseline change for a tool that had long been used in build and integration-test workflows.
