**Mimesis** is a fast and easy to use library for Python programming
language, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of purposes
in a variety of languages. This data can be particularly useful during
software development and testing. For example, it could be used to
populate a testing database, create beautiful JSON and XML files,
anonymize data taken from a production service, etc.
This library offers a number of advantages over other similar libraries:
- Performance. Significantly `faster`_ than other similar libraries.
- Completeness. Strives to provide many detailed providers that offer a
variety of data generators.
- Simplicity. Does not require any modules other than the Python
standard library.

Getting started
---------------
That’s library is really easy to use and a simple usage example is given
below:
.. code:: python
>>> from mimesis import Person
>>> person = Person('en')
>>> person.full_name()
'Antonetta Garrison'
>>> person.occupation()
'Backend Developer'
Locales
-------
Mimesis currently includes support for 33 different `locales`_. You can
specify a locale when creating providers and they will return data that
is appropriate for the language or country associated with that locale:
.. code:: python
>>> from mimesis import Person
>>> from mimesis.enums import Gender
>>> de = Person('de')
>>> pl = Person('pl')
>>> de.full_name(gender=Gender.FEMALE)
'Sabrina Gutermuth'
>>> pl.full_name(gender=Gender.MALE)
'Światosław Tomankiewicz'
