Nise Fake XHR and Server

Nise (偽) is a JavaScript library designed for faking XMLHttpRequest (XHR) and creating a fake server environment, primarily used in testing scenarios. It allows developers to intercept and control network requests made by their application without actually performing real HTTP calls. Extracted from the larger Sinon.JS library, Nise offers a lightweight alternative for users who only require XHR and server mocking functionalities, avoiding the overhead of the full Sinon.JS suite. The current stable version is 6.1.5, which was recently published as a patch. The project maintains an active, albeit slower, release cadence for minor and patch versions, driven by community needs and bug fixes. Its key differentiator is its focused scope and tight integration within the Sinon.JS testing ecosystem, providing a reliable and robust solution for simulating server interactions during unit and integration tests.
