Any mock tool which will return a preset JSON string?

I would be wanting a tool which can mock a RESTFul server and it should return the preset JSON data which I have mapped for a particular URL.

For ex: If I call http://ccccc.com/api/users , the mockup tool should return users ( which I have already preset ) in JSON format.

This might be useful when I create client side code with backbone or jquery to get back the models using an ajax call.

Any suggestions for this kind of mockup tool ?

Note: Creating a servlet which reads the incoming GET url and reads the preset JSON from a file and outputting it as JSON string is possible. But I am looking for a tool which will do this for me.

Mock up RESTful webservices simply by editing text files, e.g.,

GET_#book#123#authors.json ==> GET /book/123/authors POST_#book@id=123.json ==> POST /book?id=123

For json, a schema-based mockup is supported, e.g., in sample_server/mocks/GET__#search@q=js.json e.g., 

"@KAKUEN_ITEM(offset)": {
    "@KAKUEN_TYPE": "natural",
    "@KAKUEN_PARAM": {
        "min": 1,
        "max": 20
    }
}

will be offset:12

Sinon.js is what you're looking for. In particular the sinon.fakeServer API.
