Good to see more people trying to contribute to the API DSL area. Personally, I am more in favour of full-fledged programming languages for testing APIs, while using these helper tools (postman, etc) for interactive API usage. Recently, I released Lama2 [1][2] with the tagline "Markdown for APIs". We've been using it frequently and it works wonderfully within our org. I've included many new enhancements such as multi-stage requests & VSCode plugin capabilities in the past few months. Do take a look, and share feedback if any :) [1] - https://hexmos.com/lama2/index.html https://hexmos.com/lama2/index.html [2] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34206333 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34206333

I like to use java or nodejs to automate http tests. But I built this for my functional and testers coworkers because they don't know how to program. They have another skills. At the end I realized that dsl is faster than repetitive http calls and body parsers. Also if you check this https://gist.github.com/jrichardsz/8f2f8c0d25af7abc1e2f1d80ab3f0a81#file-t-rext-complex-feature https://gist.github.com/jrichardsz/8f2f8c0d25af7abc1e2f1d80a... in which with one minute run, I automated several http calls. I also generate a report like karate, cucumber, etc Nice tool bro, I will check it https://github.com/HexmosTech/Lama2 https://github.com/HexmosTech/Lama2 to get some ideas for my framework PD: Your install readme is similar to mine :b . Were you inspired by NVM? Thanks for share

  Got it. The way it works in Lama2 is, we have code generation capability. So people generally start with a DSL specification and when they want to convert to a full test, we generate code from the simpler specification (something like markdown -> HTML/PDF/etc?). Reports: these looks good, and useful Installer: Not sure the exact source; I've always preferred 1-click or 1-step installer systems as a user, so I think it's just "do unto other as you want done to you"
