Karate is a relatively new open-source framework for testing web-services. Just over a year old, Karate's
adoption by the community has been remarkable, as evident from the rising tide of Stack Overflow
questions and the 800+ stars the project currently has on GitHub. Karate was featured as one of the
top 5 open-source API testing tools in a blog post on TechBeacon, within just six months of its release. It now regularly turns up in blog-posts, social-media mentions, and believe it or not – even
job-listings as a desired skill.
Karate is a simple yet powerful tool that makes simple – the business of dealing with complex HTTP payloads. It features a unique mix of a Domain Specific Language (DSL), embedded JavaScript engine and native support for JsonPath.
