The **Mock Data** component generates sample data for testing and development.
You can select these output types:

* `message_output`: A [Message (text)](/data-types#message) output with Lorem Ipsum sample text.
* `data_output`: A [Data (JSON)](/data-types#data) object containing a JSON structure with one sample record under `records` and a `summary` section.
* `dataframe_output`: A [DataFrame (tabular)](/data-types#dataframe) with 50 mock records, including columns such as `customer_id`, `first_name`, and `last_name`.
