I'm looking to add a localhost server to my app to test certain results from backend (similar to u2020 from Jake). I've done this in the past and used okhttp mockwebserver _but_ I'm curious if anyone has any strong feels about possibly just shipping a ktor server in my app for the same thing. Any big benefit to using one vs the other? The only thing I can think of is that I remember that wayyy back when, mockwebserver was really made to be used in test and so it brings in junit as a transitive depedency. Just looking to start a conversation to see if people have strong opinions for one vs the other.

Not sure mockwebserver is the best route. But at least with 5 alpha, you can use the core without junit deps

I use ktor with netty for the integration tests, I only had to permit cleartext from the localhost subdomain.

I imagine ktor would be heavier performance wise and overall size of the dependency?
