REST Assured is an open-source Java library used for testing and validating REST APIs by providing a domain-specific language that simplifies writing HTTP requests and asserting responses. It is popular among QA engineers and software developers for automating API test suites, checking status codes, headers, and JSON/XML response bodies without needing to write extensive boilerplate code. It integrates well with testing frameworks like JUnit and TestNG.
