Overview
Jaguar Dev Proxy is a reverse proxy implementation for development environments, designed to streamline backend and web server workflows. It enables developers to route requests between local services and external endpoints seamlessly during development. Built with Dart and part of the Jaguar ecosystem, it supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package simplifies API mocking, service integration testing, and cross-origin communication in local setups. Ideal for teams using Jaguar-based backends or requiring lightweight proxying without complex configurations.
