Hock is a lightweight and versatile HTTP request mocking server designed to simplify testing and development workflows. Both versions 0.1.0 and 0.1.1 offer the core functionality of intercepting and mocking HTTP requests, allowing developers to simulate various server responses without needing actual external services. They share identical dependencies, relying on Underscore.js for utility functions and utilizing 'assert-called', 'request', and 'async' as development dependencies for testing purposes. The author and repository details also remain constant across both releases, indicating a consistent source and maintainer.
The key difference between the two versions lies in their release date, with version 0.1.1 being released on May 2nd, 2013, a day after version 0.1.0 (May 1st, 2013). This suggests that version 0.1.1 likely includes bug fixes, minor enhancements, or refinements made shortly after the initial 0.1.0 release. While the specific nature of these changes isn't explicitly detailed in the provided data, developers should always prioritize the newer version (0.1.1) to benefit from the latest improvements and potential stability fixes. Choosing either version gives developers the ability to isolate their code during testing avoiding reliance on external APIs and promoting faster, more reliable builds. Hock proves invaluable for unit and integration testing, enabling comprehensive coverage testing scenarios without complex setup. It's a simple yet helpful tool, making HTTP mocking approachable for developers of any skill level.
