RecordedRequest request3 = server.takeRequest();
  assertEquals("/v1/chat/messages/3", request3.getPath());

  // Shut down the server. Instances cannot be reused.
  server.shutdown();
}
```

Your unit tests might move the `server` into a field so you can shut it down
from your test's `tearDown()`.

### API

#### MockResponse

Mock responses default to an empty response body and a `200` status code.

 *
 * <p>A min-max priority queue can be configured with a maximum size. If so, each time the size of
 * the queue exceeds that value, the queue automatically removes its greatest element according to
 * its comparator (which might be the element that was just added). This is different from
 * conventional bounded queues, which either block or reject new elements when full.
 *
 * <p>This implementation is based on the <a

But you can return a `JSONResponse` directly from your *path operations*.

It might be useful, for example, to return custom headers or cookies.

## Return a `Response`

In fact, you can return any `Response` or any sub-class of it.

/// tip

`JSONResponse` itself is a sub-class of `Response`.

You can actually skip that extra header and it would still work.

But it's provided here to be compliant with the specifications.

Also, there might be tools that expect and use it (now or in the future) and that might be useful for you or your users, now or in the future.

That's the benefit of standards...
