Specmatic Node.js Wrapper

Specmatic-node is an npm package that provides a Node.js wrapper for the core Specmatic executable JAR, enabling contract-driven development (CDD) workflows within JavaScript and TypeScript projects. It allows developers to easily install and manage the Specmatic JAR, run CLI commands, and programmatically interact with Specmatic's capabilities for API stubbing (smart mocks) and contract testing. The current stable version is 2.43.3. New patch and minor versions are released frequently, often several times a month, reflecting active development. Its key differentiators include enabling a 'no-code' approach to contract testing from OpenAPI/Swagger/AsyncAPI specifications and providing a smart stub server that can be configured programmatically to simulate API providers, facilitating independent development for API consumers. It bridges the JVM-based core Specmatic functionality with the Node.js ecosystem.
