Validating REST API proxy

VRAP

Vrap is a validating REST API proxy. In order to be able to validate rest api calls the proxy consumes RAML 1.0 definition files.

Features

How to use it

The easisest way is to start vrap with docker. This requires that you have docker docker installed on your system. When docker is started, you can run vrap with the following command:

docker run -v<RAML-definition-directory>:/api -p5050:5050 vrapio/vrap /api/api.raml 

Vrap mode

Vrap provides two modes of operation, which can be set globally on the command line (via the -m mode cli option) or set for a request with the X-Vrap-Mode http header.

Tutorial
