Galileo vs Karate DSL: What are the differences?
What is Galileo? Analytics Platform for Monitoring, Visualizing and Inspecting API & Microservice Traffic. Galileo is an analytics platform for APIs that includes Realtime Logging, Request Replay, and Diff Comparisons.
What is Karate DSL? Open Source Web-Services Test Automation Framework. Combines API test-automation, mocks and performance-testing into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Besides powerful JSON & XML assertions, you can run tests in parallel for speed - which is critical for HTTP API testing.
Galileo and Karate DSL are primarily classified as "API" and "Testing Frameworks" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Galileo are:
- API analytics
- API monitoring
- API Alerts
On the other hand, Karate DSL provides the following key features:
- Native support for both JSON and XML
- Powerful payload assertions with "deep-equals"
- Data-driven testing
Karate DSL is an open source tool with 2.12K GitHub stars and 526 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Karate DSL's open source repository on GitHub.
