Features of Rest Assured Framework

 

REST Assured is a powerful Java library used for testing RESTful APIs. It provides a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing readable, maintainable, and expressive API test cases. REST Assured simplifies the process of sending HTTP requests, validating responses, and integrating with Java-based testing frameworks like JUnit or TestNG.
