Is Rest-Assured api supporting SOAP

Question

We are trying to perform tests using Rest Assured Api but we aren't getting success with the response. We sent a request but the response is a faultcode (xml). The same request was made successfully using Soapui.

So, we searched a lot, people say that rest assured supports SOAP and others says that doesn't support. Anyone knows what is the truth? Supports or not?

Answer 1

While it does not specifically support SOAP protocol, nothing stops you from using RestAssured for SOAP Servers testing - because it is just sending and receiving XML over HTTP and RestAssured does this perfectly well.

To be honest, the fact that RestAssured is not specifically designed to support SOAP makes it even more valuable for error testing, which would be really difficult with SOAP-centered clients.

Here's more details how one can verify XML content: https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured/wiki/Usage#example-2---xml
