Show HN: Tavern, a simple but powerful RESTful API testing library

OP here - we made Tavern as an internal tool at overlock, due to problems of running RESTful integration tests with postman in our CI pipelines, as well as needing to rely on a CI.

What really kicked this all off was the javascript testing functionality in other projects which we found to be nearly unusable in more complex tests where say, you want to verify the contents of a JWT. We liked the ability to write simple tests quickly, but needed more power to be able to extend when needed - that's why we wrote the ability to hook in to python functions with Tavern as required.

We're just getting started with tavern and the next things on our agenda are: 1) Reference schemas from Json schema or OpenAPI documents 2) Command line deamon to ping your API regularly for functional uptime monitoring

We'd really love to know what you think - either in the comments or github issues!
