 Mock Client
 ===========
+
+
+The mock client is a special type of client. It is a test double that does not
+send the requests that you pass to it, but collects them instead. You can then
+retrieve those request objects and make assertions about them. Additionally, you
+can fake HTTP server responses and exceptions to validate how your code handles
+them. This behavior is most useful in tests.
+
+To install the Mock client, run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ composer require php-http/mock-client
+
+Collect requests
+----------------
+
+To make assertions::
+
+    use Http\Mock\Client;
+
+    class YourTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
+    {
+        public function testRequests()
+        {
+            // $firstRequest and $secondRequest are Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
+            // objects
+
+            $client = new Client();
+            $client->sendRequest($firstRequest);
+            $client->sendRequest($secondRequest);
+
+            $bothRequests = $client->getRequests();
+
+            // Do your assertions
+            $this->assertEquals('GET', $bothRequests[0]->getMethod());
+            // ...
+        }
+    }
+
+Fake responses and exceptions
+-----------------------------
+
+Test how your code behaves when the HTTP client throws exceptions or returns
+certain responses::
+
+    use Http\Mock\Client;
+
+    class YourTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
+    {
+        public function testClientReturnsResponse()
+        {
+            $client = new Client();
+
+            $response = $this->getMock('Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface');
+            $client->addResponse($response);
+
+            // $request is an instance of Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
+            $returnedResponse = $client->sendRequest($request);
+            $this->assertSame($response, $returnedResponse);
+        }
+    }
+
+To fake an exception being thrown::
+
+    use Http\Mock\Client;
+
+    class YourTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
+    {
+        /**
+         * @expectedException \Exception
+         */
+        public function testClientThrowsException()
+        {
+            $client = new Client();
+
+            $exception = new \Exception('Whoops!');
+            $client->addException($exception);
+
+            // $request is an instance of Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
+            $returnedResponse = $client->sendRequest($request);
+        }
+    }
