Use Katalon
As I said in earlier post, I'm a fan of Katalon Studio which combines UI and API test in one Eclipse based user friendly IDE with valuable Recorder(record/play) feature! Only missing part is no direct support of performance test.
As shown in Create your first API test with Katalon Studio (manual style without scripting) and Katalon Web Service Test (video with a little bit scripting), Katalon supports API test in powerful user friendly way as other popular API test tools e.g. Postman, Restlet Client; By Parameterize a Web Service object and scripting, we could have all kind of APIs calls combinations.
The important point here is Katalon uses Groovy as scripting language, besides enjoy the beauty of Groovy, we have full control of the scripts flow! We could introduce any other external Java libraries into Katalon Studio to leverage all powerful features on Data-driven, assertion etc. integrating with UI/API testing. Even make up some performance test indirectly with coding around 3rd party libraries e.g. REST Assured.
Use long live JMeter
And still love JMeter if load test API after feature test is a must. JMeter is born for load test!
