Why Maque?

Are you spending hours on every project, creating sample XML or JSON files? How many times on a given project are you asking your server team to hurry up and finish an API so that you can start working? Are you tired to polluting your application code with mocking frameworks?

Maque is a cross-platform, desktop-based, development tool that is designed to help developers create, test and maintain web-enabled applications in a variety of spaces; such as mobile, web and desktop. With a built-in HTTP Server developers can create mock data services to develop and test their applications against. Maque also provides the ability to create and then dynamically modify JSON, HTML and XML documents in an easy to use UI.

Data Services

Create test services

It can be really hard to test your application's multitude of use cases involving live APIs. With Maque you can quickly mock up services for any of your use case needs. Each use case (called Rules in Maque) can be configured to respond with specific data to meet your requirements.

Built-in HTTP 1.1 server

Maque has a built-in web server allowing you to use real HTTP-based data and asset calls during the development and testing process.

Cache live responses

Point Maque at a live API to capture the request and cache the response. Each subsequent request to Maque that matches the previously captured request will return the cached data. Developers will love this feature when live APIs become unavailable during development, so they can continue working using the cached content.

HTTP method support

Provides support the most common HTTP method types: GET, PUT, POST, DELETE

Built-in file server

Use Maque's HTTP file server to host almost any file type (JavaScript, Images, CSS, HTML). Test those edge cases involving images, css, and html.

RESTful services

With Maque's support for GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE, you can easily simulations RESTful APIs to build all the mock services your development and tests require

Incoming Request Capture Wizard

Even with Maque creating 10 or maybe 100 services can be time consuming! Maque now offers a wizard that will capture incoming requests and create Services & Rules based on the request arguments and an external service's response. Point your application at Maque and start capturing and building services today!

Proxy your site

Use Maque as a proxy server during your application's development. Build services for your APIs and have Maque pass-through all other requests to the live server. Perfect for cross-domain and authentication sessions!

Error services

Need to test your application against a 404, 420, 500? Maque allows you to quickly configure any service to return an error of your choice.

Delay responses

Need to test your UI against a slow or non-responsive API? Create a Rule and define a delay in milliseconds.

Data Templates

Create XML, HTML, JSON

Create data templates that generate wellformed XML, HTML and JSON without writing a line of code. Use Maque's UI to create any type of data structure template your application requires.

Import existing data

Already have a sample of what your data file is and need to produce another version? Simply import an existing XML & JSON file and Maque will convert it into a template for reuse. Do you have an existing API? Point Maque at the API and a new template will be created based on the returned data.

Output multiple data files

Generate any number of XML, JSON, HTML from a single template. Configure your template to use and then generate different values for every file created.

Build HTML documents

Create templates that produce standard HTML doc types (HTML, XHTML, HTML5, etc.). Useful when you require quick mock ups of large HTML documents with similar yet repetitive structures.

Configure your values

Setup your template to generate strings, numbers, booleans, dates and configure those values to be static, semi-static, or random.

Integrate Lorem Ipsum

Use the Lorem Ipsum generator to randomize larger data values such as paragraphs, descriptions, bios, and more.

Save and share templates

Once you create a template, you can share it with your team, co-workers or even the community.

Leverage Data Sets

Data Templates support the ability use a linear set of data to populate your templates. Need your data to look real, fill it in with sets to create a more useful simulation.

Import Your Content

Do you already have a lot of linear data to fill in (names, states, places, etc.)? Import flat CSV files to generate sets that your templates can use to create content with.

Placeholder Images (FPO)

Create mock images

Create hundreds of test PNG and JPEG images with a push of a button.

Increment file names

Maque increments each file name to provide a unique name for every image.

Custom labels

Configure each image to display a custom label, making the images easily identifiable when you are rendering them inside of your application.

Customize appearance

Configure images with custom borders, backgrounds, labels, fonts, and more.

Import existing image

Define an image as the background and then customize it styles

Save FPO configures

FPO configuration can be imported and exported. Take configurations and share them with individuals and teams.

Lorem Ipsum

Create Lorem Ipsum

Generate Lorem Ipsum structured text by the character, word or paragraph.

Integrated into Data Templates

Use the Lorem Ipsum generation when defining Data Templates.

Save & share configures

Import and export configurations and share those configures with others.
