In the example under Bulk importing stubs I can see one mapping has an

id

and the other one has no

id

? Can someone let me know 1. what is the importance of

id

? 2. What happens if no

id

is specified? Does wiremock generate one for the mapping if no

id

is specified?

Yes,

id

is generated if not present so you don’t need to set one. It can be useful to do so if you later want to use it for an update or delete.

I guess something for the format definition spec or for the JSON Schema

A related question, when i generate the mapping via record and replay I see an

id

as well as

uuid

field both having the same value. Do I need to specify

uuid

also if i am specifying

id

in my mapping?

From what I see in the code, no

No,

uuid

is there for backwards compatibility reasons and will disappear, probably in 3.x
