About:
Prism CLI is a command-line interface for Prism, Stoplight's mock server and contract testing tool. It enables developers to generate dynamic API mocks from OpenAPI specifications and perform API contract validation. This tool streamlines API development by providing immediate feedback on API design and behavior.
Key Features:
  • Dynamic mock server generation from OpenAPI specifications
  • Contract testing and API validation capabilities
  • Request validation and response generation
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines
  • Support for API design-first workflows
Use Cases:
  • Creating realistic API mocks for frontend development before backend implementation
  • Validating API contracts against OpenAPI specifications during CI/CD
  • Testing API integrations without requiring actual backend services
  • Prototyping and iterating on API designs with immediate feedback
Alternatives:
  • Prism – Prism CLI is the command-line interface for Prism, which is the core mock server engine
  • Prism – Alternative to Postman's mock servers with OpenAPI-first approach
  • Prism – Open-source alternative to Stoplight's hosted mocking service
