    Possible Breaking Change

    table keyword will omit keys with null values from resulting JSON

    It is quite unlikely you will face issues with the new behavior, but. Empty cells or expressions that evaluate to null will result in the key being omitted from the JSON. To force a null value, wrap it in parentheses:

    \* def one = { baz: null }\* table json | foo | bar | | 'hello' | | | one.baz | (null) | | 'world' | null |\* match json == [{ foo: 'hello' }, { bar: null }, { foo: 'world' }]

    🆕 New JUnit "dev-mode" HTML report

    ⬆️ The main reason why you may want to upgrade. This should greatly improve the ease of trouble-shooting a Karate test in your IDE in dev-mode. You need to use the JUnit Runner. Here is a video of what to expect: link.

    GraphQL Example Added

    ✅ Karate is actually a perfect fit for testing GraphQL API-s and a new example was added to the demo suite to show-case this capability: graphql.feature.
