title: What are the best tools for testing web services with REST protocol and JSON data format?
body: <p>I am new to testing of REST web services with JSON data format. </p>
  
  <p>I tried SOUPUI, but unfortunately doesn't support JSON request. </p>
  
  <p>I am now using the Chrome plugin for my tests, but I think it's not appropriate for test automation of these type of applications.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know which tools are OK for this purpose?</p>
