Playwright is an open-source automation framework developed by Microsoft, designed for testing web applications across different browsers such as Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Originally, Playwright was built for browser automation, but it has evolved to include robust support for API testing. With Playwright API testing, developers can ensure that their web applications interact correctly with backend APIs, leading to seamless, bug-free user experiences. https://testomat.io/blog/playwright-api-testing-comprehensive-guide-with-examples/
