Feature: REST API
  In order to be able to build my own tool for web application
  As a developer
  I need to have clean REST API for application

  Scenario: List all users
    Given application has users:
      | name | email       |
      | ivan | [email protected] |
      | dima | [email protected] |
    When I request /users.json
    Then I should get a response:
      """
      [
        { name: "ivan", email: "[email protected]" },
        { name: "dima", email: "[email protected]" }
      ]
      """

steps.php

<?php

$steps->Given('/^application has users\:$/', function($world, $users) {
  // write users to the DB
});

$steps->When('/^I request (.*)\.(json|xml)$/', function($world, $page, $type) {
  $world->response = /* make request to $page.$type */;
  $world->responseType = $type;
});

$steps->Then('/^I should get a response\:$/', function ($world, $response) {
  switch ($world->responseType) {
    case 'json': assertEquals(json_decode($response), json_decode($world->response)); break;
  }
});
