Syntax

Cotton utilizes markdown syntax to make the document executable and still readable. A testcase is composed of markdown elements to create elements in testcase. Here you can explore the testcase elements and corresponding markdown elements.

Notes:

• Requests are expressed in HTTP-like blocks inside code fences.
• Assertions and captures operate on JSON responses using GJSON paths (must start with $).
