Jest-API-Tests

Description:

Jest-API-Tests is a testing framework designed to validate API endpoints against a local mock-server powered by json-server. This project provides a lightweight and efficient way to perform API testing using Jest, ensuring consistent responses without relying on a live backend. Ideal for test automation, it enables fast, isolated, and repeatable API validation.
