RestAssured Project

REST Assured brings the simplicity for Testing and validating REST services in Java.

Here is the full User Guide.

Here is the maven dependency

<dependency>
      <groupId>io.rest-assured</groupId>
      <artifactId>rest-assured</artifactId>
      <version>4.3.2</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

We will be using Junit5 as Testing support. Here is the dependency for Junit5

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit-jupiter</artifactId>
    <version>5.7.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Static imports

In order to use REST assured effectively it's recommended to statically import methods from the following classes:

import static io.restassured.RestAssured.* ;
import static io.restassured.matcher.RestAssuredMatchers.* ;
import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.* ;

Hamcrest Assertion Library

RestAssured Use Hamcrest Matchers for assertions while chaining. Here is the doc for Hamcrest.
