Some folks at Open Table have written a response transformer for injecting data from the
request body into the response:
https://github.com/opentable/wiremock-body-transformer
In a similar vein, Adam York has written a response transformer utilising Velocity templates:
https://github.com/adamyork/wiremock-velocity-transformer
Mason Malone has built an extension for matching requests based on the contents of JSON web tokens:
https://github.com/MasonM/wiremock-jwt-extension
Also from Mason, an extension for finding and removing unused stub mappings:
