Faker

tool 5 connections

Ruby gem ported from Perl that generates realistic fake data from many dictionaries (names, addresses, quotes, news, commands, themed data like Game of Thrones). Widely used to seed test data and factories; also used to power obfuscation strategies in Grazer. Sergyenko calls Faker a reason to be proud of the Ruby community — its design has been mirrored by Faker libraries in Python, PHP and other languages.
