bench-rest is a Node.js module for load testing and benchmarking REST APIs using a simple structure/DSL. It allows users to create REST flows with setup and teardown operations, and returns measured metrics such as average iterations per second, total iterations completed, minimum and maximum time per iteration, and histogram data. The project is designed for developers who need to test the performance of their REST APIs under load, and provides both programmatic and command-line interfaces for ease of use.
