Mock your engine with Apiary! This document discusses how Apiary can be used to quickly prototype and design APIs, allowing development teams to work together efficiently. Apiary provides an online editor and mock server to define API contracts and endpoints without needing a backend initially, enabling fast prototyping and integration testing between frontend and backend teams.
