Karate is one of 5 APIs that [BDD (Behavior-Driven Development)](https://apis.io/providers/bdd/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include BDD, API Testing, REST Testing, and Performance Testing. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a GitHub repository.

Karate is a modern open-source BDD framework that unifies API testing, UI automation, performance testing, and mocking in a single framework. It uses a Gherkin-like DSL and is particularly powerful for REST and GraphQL API testing with JSON/XML validation, JavaScript scripting, and parallel execution.
