What is this?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This website accompanies a talk/workshop ([here's the slide deck](https://github.com/JamesMessinger/super-powered-api-testing/blob/master/presentation.pdf)) that discusses and compares various API testing tools and best-practices. I've re-created the same API test suite in several different tools to make it easy to compare and contrast them in terms of features, ease-of-use, syntax, etc.
Demo API
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the REST API that we're testing. It's a fun list of technology-themed superheroes, sidekicks, and villains.

API Testing Tools
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[](mocha-chai/)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mocha and Chai are JavaScript libraries that make it easy to write complex API tests using an intuitive fluent syntax that's easy to learn.
[Features](mocha-chai/) | [Demo](mocha-chai/#demo-setup)
[](restlet/)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restlet is a free Chrome extension that's so easy to use that _anybody_ can build API tests.
[Features](restlet/) | [Demo](restlet/#demo-setup)
[](postman/)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postman is a free app that makes it easy to build, test, and document your APIs. It has powerful API testing features that strike a good balance between power and ease-of-use.
[Features](postman/) | [Demo](postman/#demo-setup)
[](stoplight/)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stoplight is a powerful API development tool that's based on OpenAPI (fka Swagger). Its tight integration with OpenAPI enables powerful features like automatic contract verification and code-coverage analysis.
