Detailed Comparison
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) makes it easy to manage the whole API lifecycle from design to sharing. It's concise - you only write what you need to define - and reusable. It is machine readable API design that is actually human friendly. | 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. |
Create and pull in namespaced, reusable libraries, containing data types;
Annotations let you add vendor specific functionality without compromising your spec;
Traits and resource Types let you take advantage of code reuse and design patterns;
Easily define resources and methods then add as much detail as you want | Native support for both JSON and XML;
Powerful payload assertions with "deep-equals";
Data-driven testing;
Easy even for non-programmers;
Embedded JavaScript engine;
Test-doubles or HTTP mocking built-in;
Re-use test scripts as performance-tests;
Environment switching;
Comprehensive reports, supported by all CI tools |
