About this project

Faker is a widely-used open-source library that generates massive amounts of fake but realistic data for testing and development. It supports over 70 locales and provides modules for generating names, addresses, dates, finance details, commerce data, hacker phrases, numbers, strings, and more. It can be used in both Node.js and the browser, with ESM and CJS support. Key features include localization with fallback to English, customizable locale instances, seeding for reproducible results, and a template helper for combining API methods. The project is MIT-licensed and actively maintained by a community of contributors.
