Chakram

More Features:

• Chakram allows you to write clear and comprehensive tests, ensuring JSON REST endpoints work correctly as you develop and in the future
• Chakram extends Chai.js, adding HTTP specific assertions.
• It allows simple verification of returned status codes, the compression used, cookies, headers, returned JSON objects and the schema of the JSON response (using the JSON schema specification)
• API testing is naturally asynchronous, which can make tests complex and unwieldy. Chakram fully exploits javascript promises, resulting in clear asynchronous tests.
• Using BDD formatting and hooks, complex tests can be constructed with the necessary setup and tear down operations, all described in natural language for improved clarity and maintenance.
• Allows new assertions to be added to the framework. This is ideal for adding edge case HTTP assertions or project specific assertions.
