   1. format: setting the format of value how it should be in request or return in response.
   2. variables: for reusable usage in formatting value.
   3. size: setting the value size. If it's str type, this is the length limitation; if it's int or other numeric type value, this is the value limitation.
   4. digit: setting the decimal policy.
2. Support setting the format properties in template section.
3. Re-fine the command line interface to be more friendly and more readable in usage.

🪲 Bug Fix

1. Fix broken tests in some specific Python versions.
2. Fix the broken CI workflow about auto-merge the upgrade dependencies PRs which has been approved.

♻️ Refactor

1. Re-fine the pure data into data models in data processing of handling API documentation.
2. Adjust the modules structure about core logic of API server processing with classifying by API server type.
3. Refactor the modules structure of command line options, processors and components.
4. Refactor the enum objects into the module or sub-package which are deeply relative with their meaning.
5. Extract the file operation logic into new sub-package in _util.

🍀 Improvement

1. Rename the Python package and project again as PyFake-API-Server to avoid similar project naming issue in PyPI
2. Improve the CD workflows which would only br triggered by updating version info.
3. Let the error message to be more clear and readable for incorrect usage.
4. Let the version info to be more readable and detail.

2. Upgrade pre-commit dependencies.
3. Upgrade the CI reusable workflows.
   1. Upgrade SonarQube and update its configuration
   2. Update the usage because upgrading the artifact actions

🚮Deprecate

1. Deprecate and remove version 0.3.0 because it has multiple issue, and it cannot upload same version file to PyPI. 😭

v0.1.0 - Newborn Python tool: **_PyMock-API_** <0001f9f9>🍻

🎉🎊🍾 New feature

---

1. Provide command line interface mock-api for mocking HTTP server.

   usage: mock-api [SUBCOMMAND] [OPTIONS]
   
   A Python tool for mocking APIs by set up an application easily. PyMock-API bases on Python web framework to set up application, i.e., you could select using *flask* to set up application to mock APIs.
   
   options:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -v, --version         The version info of PyMock-API.
   
   Subcommands:
   
     {run,sample,add,check,get,pull}
       run                 Set up APIs with configuration and run a web application to mock them.
       sample              Quickly display or generate a sample configuration helps to use this tool.
       add                 Something processing about configuration, i.e., generate a sample configuration or validate configuration content.
       check               Check the validity of *PyMock-API* configuration.
       get                 Do some comprehensive inspection for configuration.
       pull                Pull the API details from one specific source, e.g., Swagger API documentation.
