JQuery Mocking

I am looking for a mature framework that can do Javascript mocking, especially on AJAX and JSON area.

Is there any existing mocking framework for Javascript ( and/ or JQuery) that you are used and can recommend?

Edit: I have evaluated jqmock and jqunit. It seems that it's the only framework that can do basic library mocking and stubbing, but it can't do AJAX call.

Mocking is included in the jasmine testframework too. I used it myself to mock out jQuery.ajax:

spyOn(jQuery, 'ajax').andCallFake(function(value) {
    value.success(data);
});

I prefer modular code. Modular code is easy to mock!

var function fetchAjaxData(){
  // Perform ajax request.
  // Call 'update' with the data in question.
}

var update = function(ajaxData){
  // do things with ajaxData
}

With this kind of code, all you need to do is to call the 'update' function to mock a ajax request.
