Is there a way to mock a FROST-Server with API testing tools like Postman?

Hello there,

I'd like to know if tere is a way to mock a FROST-Server using tools like Postman? My idea is to have an testing endpoint for developing API clients.

Mocking the SensorThings API is probably not easy, given the large number of possible URLs that are used. It's probably easier to start a FROST-Server as part of the test, and use a Batch-request to import a test dataset.

For Java, dotNet, Python, Go and Rust test environments this could easily be done using Testcontainers

Hi @hylkevds,

thanks for the reply. I already had the idea to self-host a Frost-Server, but currently we don't have any server's here. Eventually i set one up on my local machine using docker.
