Spring Cloud Contract

Feature ideas:

• Move DSL and stub runner code over from Accurest
• Spring Restdocs generators
• RAML generators
• Named scenarios for modelling sequences of request-response with state changes
• Wiremock support for Spring Boot apps
• Wiremock mock servers using MockRestServiceServer (from Spring Test)
• POJO-based contracts (packaging DTOs and stub declarations from the producer)
• Sample messages packaged and injectable into Spring Cloud Stream consumer tests
• DiscoveryClient support so backends can be stubbed or mocked transparently (declaratively)
• Actuator endpoints that verify the state of contracts supported by the host service
• Something to make PACT easier to use in Spring Boot apps?
• Support Citrus users (somehow?)
• Schema registries for binary formats like protobuf, thrift, avro
