zzAPI

This package is a library that powers the following REST API testing and documentation tools:

• VS Code extension
• CLI

These tools work with YAML files specifiying REST API requests. You can run a request or all requests in that API bundle. Also supported are:

• Tests on each request (no coding required)
• Use of environments and variables
• Capturing response values into variables for subsequent requests

You are more likely to be interested in the above tools than this library itself. You may be interested in this library if you wish to build your own tool (eg, a web-based tool) using this library. In which case, you can proceed to the API documentation: Work in progress
