Karate DSL
Karate DSL — A strong recommendation when you want one framework for API testing plus broader automation, since it is explicitly recommended for API, UI, and even performance testing in a single tool.
Perplexity
SoapUI
SoapUI / ReadyAPI — Still the recommendation for SOAP/WSDL-heavy or enterprise integration environments, where its mature request generation, assertions, mock services, and functional/load-testing workflow outweigh its older-feeling developer experience.
