REST Assured is a Java DSL for testing and validating RESTful APIs, providing fluent request specification, response assertions and built-in support for JSON and XML. It simplifies writing integration and functional tests by abstracting HTTP details and offering concise syntax for common verification patterns.

REST Assured is a Java DSL for expressing HTTP requests to REST APIs and checking responses with readable assertions.
REST Assured emerged as an open-source project in the Java ecosystem to make API integration tests concise. Its development combines a fluent DSL with support for JSON, XML, and HTTP-level checks.
A test specifies the request and its conditions, sends it to the service, then verifies status, headers, and body. REST Assured simplifies syntax; it does not replace meaningful test cases or a representative environment.
Method, URL, headers, parameters, and body are described declaratively.
Response status, headers, and content are checked automatically.
Chained calls read like a description of the HTTP exchange.
REST Assured fits automated API and integration testing in Java. Test data, authentication, external dependencies, and the boundary with contract testing remain test-design concerns.
