Anyway, without any further ado, here are some tools you can use to test your REST APIs or RESTful web services, as we Java developer calls them. If you ask me, I generally used the curl command for simple testing like to see what data a particular REST endpoint returns but for more sophisticated testing I generally use tools like Postman, RESTAssured, or SOAPUI. Some of you might already be familiar with these tools, commands, and library in that case just chip in and share your experience so that we can all learn from each other. You can also use these tools to interact with your REST API during the development phase for quick tests. These REST API testing and development tools will help you to test your APIs as you build, starting from unit testing to integration testing and then fully automating your resting to create a regression pack.

Hello folks, If you are a Java or web developer working on REST APIs and RESTful web services and looking for some testing tools to test your APIs and web services, or open-source tools to document your REST APIs then you have come to the right place.Įarlier, I have shared the best books and courses for RESTful web services and in this article, I am going to share five awesome but easily accessible and free tools to test your REST APIs.
