title: Rest assured equivalent in Python for Rest API automation testing
body: <p>in Java there is a <a href="http://rest-assured.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">rest-assured</a> framework to make the API requests and validate the responses with various ways.
  Is there any alternative in Python? 
  Or I should use the <a href="https://pypi.org/project/requests/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">requests</a> library to make the API calls and validate the responses e.g using JsonPath, XmlPath and other libraries.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
