Jester

Jester - a JSON test tool

Building Jester

Clone or download the source code and either:

Open the 'jester' folder in NetBeans or your favourite IDE, and build it.

Build a package from the command line with mvn package

Running jester

Once built, either double-click Jester-0.2.jar in the targetfolder, or start from the command line with java -jar target/Jester-0.2.jar Then enter an API URI and click GET

The GET request is made and the response parsed to a tree view representation of the JSON data. data values can be 'asserted' on

The 'assert' action writes a Java statement into the right-hand pane

This generates jUnit output using REST Assured
