Features

• Fluent Interfaces - Uses a fluent interface with method chaining to create a readable, declarative specification for API tests.
• HTTP Resource Invocation - Ships a fluent API to send requests using standard or custom HTTP verbs to specified endpoints.
• REST API Testing Tools - Provides a fluent DSL for sending HTTP requests and validating server endpoints.
• XML Response Parsers - Extracts data from XML responses using a path-based syntax to verify specific values.
• Response Parsing Utilities - Extracts data from JSON, XML, or HTML responses using specialized path parsers.
• Automatic Body Deserializers - Converts JSON or XML response content into programmable Java objects via object-mapping.
• JSON Response Parsers - Includes path-based JSON response parsers to verify specific fields and values in API responses.
• Response Body Parsing - Retrieves specific values from response bodies using path queries or raw streams.
• HTTP Client Libraries - Functions as a Java HTTP client library with integrated support for JSON and XML serialization.
• API Authentication Schemes - Supports multiple security schemes including Basic, OAuth, and Certificates to secure outgoing API calls.
• Client-Side Request Authentication - Provides mechanisms for attaching security credentials to outgoing network requests to access protected endpoints.
• Digest Authentication - Implements various web authentication schemes such as Basic, Digest, Form, and OAuth.
• Automated Testing Tools - Provides a comprehensive suite for automating the testing of web services and controllers.
• HTTP Response Assertions - Implements assertions to verify JSON and XML response content and patterns.
• Request Parameter Configurations - Provides a fluent way to configure query, form, and path parameters for outgoing API requests.
• Request Parameter Management - Supports sending query, form, and named path parameters to servers during API testing.
• Response Body Assertions - Provides capabilities to compare entire response bodies or specific paths within them against expected values.
• Request Body Handling - Allows attaching text, byte arrays, or serialized objects to POST, PUT, and DELETE requests.
• Request-Response Interceptors - Implements a pipeline of interceptors to modify outgoing requests and inspect incoming responses globally.
• API Response Validation - Validates HTTP status codes, status lines, headers, and cookies to verify server response metadata.
• Object Mapping - Provides libraries for mapping Java objects to JSON or XML and vice versa for request/response bodies.
• Schema Validators - Verifies that JSON response bodies adhere to a predefined structure and set of validation rules.
• Object Mapping Libraries - Includes libraries for mapping XML response data into programmable Java objects for easier validation.
• Object-Primitive Mapping - Provides a layer that transforms Java objects into JSON or XML formats for API request transmission.
• Automated Session Handling - Automatically captures session identifiers and CSRF tokens from responses to apply them to subsequent requests.
• Global Defaults - Defines global base URIs, ports, and parsers to standardize request configurations.
• Custom Request Headers - Provides capabilities for injecting user-defined metadata and authentication into HTTP request headers.
• Cookie Management - Provides tools for injecting specific cookies into web requests to maintain session state.
• HTTP Traffic Logging - Logs all outgoing HTTP requests and incoming responses, including headers and bodies, for diagnostics.
• HTTP Header Validations - Verifies that specific response headers are present and match expected values or custom logic.
• Reusable Request Specifications - Defines reusable sets of parameters and headers to avoid duplication across test suites.
• Session Management - Maintains state and authentication across multiple requests using an automated session identifier filter.
• Cross-Site Request Forgery Protections - Propagates and validates unique CSRF tokens on state-changing requests to ensure secure communication.
• TLS/SSL Configurations - Provides configurations for enforcing encrypted network communication via TLS and SSL protocols.
• SSL Verification Settings - Manages SSL certificate validation, including the use of custom keystores and truststores.
• JSON Schema Validation - Verifies that JSON response bodies conform to a predefined schema for structural correctness.
• API Integration Testing - Verifies web endpoints and controller logic through automated API integration tests.
• Content Type Specifications - Allows specifying the MIME type of the request body or removing the default content-type header.
• Request Specifications - Provides reusable request specifications to maintain consistency across multiple API tests.
• MIME Type Validations - Allows verifying that the response content-type matches the expected MIME type.
• Mock Client Testing - Enables testing of web controllers in isolation by bypassing the network stack and interacting directly with mock clients.
• Performance Measurement - Measures the time taken for API requests to complete and validates it against performance thresholds.
• Web Controller Mocking - Allows testing of web controllers in isolation without requiring a full running HTTP server.
• Schema-Based Response Validation - Verifies that API response bodies adhere to predefined JSON or XML structural schemas.
• Multipart Upload Utilities - Provides utilities for attaching files and data streams to HTTP requests using multipart form data.
• XML Schema Validations - Performs structural verification of XML responses using path expressions or formal XSD schemas.
• Mock Client Integrations - Enables testing of web controllers by interfacing with mock clients to bypass the full network stack.
• API Testing Tools - A Java library for testing RESTful web services.
• Testing and Debugging - Java DSL for testing REST services.
• Framework-uri de testare - Java DSL for simplifying REST API testing.
