```
MockMvcRequestSpecification body(String body)
```
    Specify a String request body (such as e.g. JSON or XML) that'll be sent with the request. This works for the POST and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 given().body("{ \"message\" : \"hello world\"}").then().expect().body(equalTo("hello world")).when().post("/json");
 
```
    This will POST a request containing JSON to "/json" and expect that the response body equals to "hello world".
    Parameters:
    body - The body to send.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - body
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification body(byte[] body)
```
    Specify a byte array request body that'll be sent with the request. This only works for the POST http method. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 byte[] someBytes = ..
 given().body(someBytes).then().expect().body(equalTo("hello world")).when().post("/json");
 
```
    This will POST a request containing someBytes to "/json" and expect that the response body equals to "hello world".
    Parameters:
    body - The body to send.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - body
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification body(Object object)
```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request. If the object is a primitive or Number the object will be converted to a String and put in the request body. This works for the POST and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         contentType("application/json").
         body(message).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).
 when().
         post("/beautiful-message");
 
```
    Since the content-type is "application/json" then REST Assured will automatically try to serialize the object using Jackson or Gson if they are available in the classpath. If any of these frameworks are not in the classpath then an exception is thrown.
    If the content-type is "application/xml" then REST Assured will automatically try to serialize the object using JAXB if it's available in the classpath. Otherwise an exception will be thrown.
    If no request content-type is specified then REST Assured determine the parser in the following order:
    1. Jackson
    2. Gson
    3. JAXB
    Parameters:
    object - The object to serialize and send with the request
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - body
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification body(Object object,
                               ObjectMapper mapper)
```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request using a specific object mapper. This works for the POST, PATCH and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         body(message, new MyObjectMapper()).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).
 when().
         post("/beautiful-message");
 
```
    Parameters:
    object - The object to serialize and send with the request
    mapper - The object mapper
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - body
```

                               ObjectMapperType mapperType)
```
    Specify an Object request content that will automatically be serialized to JSON or XML and sent with the request using a specific object mapper type. This works for the POST, PATCH and PUT methods only. Trying to do this for the other http methods will cause an exception to be thrown.
    Example of use:
```
 Message message = new Message();
 message.setMessage("My beautiful message");

 given().
         body(message, ObjectMapper.GSON).
 expect().
         content(equalTo("Response to a beautiful message")).
 when().
         post("/beautiful-message");
 
```

    Specify the cookies that'll be sent with the request as Map e.g:
```
 Map<String, String> cookies = new HashMap<String, String>();
 cookies.put("username", "John");
 cookies.put("token", "1234");
 given().cookies(cookies).then().expect().body(equalTo("username, token")).when().get("/cookie");
 
```
    This will send a GET request to "/cookie" with two cookies:
    1. username=John
    2. token=1234
    and expect that the response body is equal to "username, token".
    Parameters:
    cookies - The Map containing the cookie names and their values to set in the request.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - cookies
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification cookies(Cookies cookies)
```
    Specify the cookies that'll be sent with the request as Cookies:
```
 Cookie cookie1 = Cookie.Builder("username", "John").setComment("comment 1").build();
 Cookie cookie2 = Cookie.Builder("token", 1234).setComment("comment 2").build();
 Cookies cookies = new Cookies(cookie1, cookie2);
 given().cookies(cookies).then().expect().body(equalTo("username, token")).when().get("/cookie");
 
```
    This will send a GET request to "/cookie" with two cookies:
    1. username=John
    2. token=1234
    and expect that the response body is equal to "username, token".
    Parameters:
    cookies - The cookies to set in the request.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - cookie
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification cookie(String cookieName,
                                 Object value,
                                 Object... additionalValues)
```
    Specify a cookie that'll be sent with the request e.g:
```
 given().cookie("username", "John").and().expect().body(equalTo("username")).when().get("/cookie");
 
```
    This will set the cookie username=John in the GET request to "/cookie".
    
    You can also specify several cookies like this:
```
 given().cookie("username", "John").and().cookie("password", "1234").and().expect().body(equalTo("username")).when().get("/cookie");
 
```
    If you specify additionalValues then the Cookie will be a multi-value cookie. This means that you'll create several cookies with the same name but with different values.
    Parameters:
    cookieName - The cookie cookieName
    value - The cookie value
    additionalValues - Additional cookies values. This will actually create two cookies with the same name but with different values.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification

 given().
         spec(requestSpec).
         param("parameter2", "value2").
 when().
        get("/something");
 
```
    This is useful when you want to reuse an entire specification across multiple requests.
    The specification passed to this method is merged with the current specification. Note that the supplied specification can overwrite data in the current specification. The following settings are overwritten:
    - Content type
    - Request body
    - Interceptions
    - Log (if defined in requestSpecificationToMerge)
    - Config

    requestSpecificationToMerge - The specification to merge with.
    
    Returns:
    the request specification
  - sessionId
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification sessionId(String sessionIdValue)
```
    Set the session id for this request. It will use the configured session id name from the configuration (by default this is "JSESSIONID"). You can configure the session id name by using:
```
     RestAssured.config = newConfig().sessionConfig(new SessionConfig().sessionIdName(<sessionIdName>));
 
```
    or you can use the sessionId(String, String) method to set it for this request only.
    Parameters:
    sessionIdValue - The session id value.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - sessionId
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification sessionId(String sessionIdName,
                                    String sessionIdValue)
```
    Set the session id name and value for this request. It'll override the default session id name from the configuration (by default this is "JSESSIONID"). You can configure the default session id name by using:
```
     RestAssured.config = newConfig().sessionConfig(new SessionConfig().sessionIdName(<sessionIdName>));
 
```
    and then you can use the sessionId(String) method to set the session id value without specifying the name for each request.
    Parameters:
    sessionIdName - The session id name
    sessionIdValue - The session id value.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification

MockMvcRequestSender when()
```
    Call this method when you're done setting up the request specification.
    
    Returns:
    The MockMvcRequestSender that let's you send the request.
  - standaloneSetup
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification standaloneSetup(Object... controllers)
```
    Build a MockMvc by registering one or more @Controller's instances and configuring Spring MVC infrastructure programmatically. This allows full control over the instantiation and initialization of controllers, and their dependencies, similar to plain unit tests while also making it possible to test one controller at a time.
    
    When this option is used, the minimum infrastructure required by the org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet to serve requests with annotated controllers is automatically created, and can be customized, resulting in configuration that is equivalent to what the MVC Java configuration provides except using builder style methods.
    
    If the Spring MVC configuration of an application is relatively straight-forward, for example when using the MVC namespace or the MVC Java config, then using this builder might be a good option for testing a majority of controllers. A much smaller number of tests can be used to focus on testing and verifying the actual Spring MVC configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    controllers - one or more @Controller's to test
  - mockMvc
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification mockMvc(org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc mockMvc)
```
    Provide a MockMvc instance to that REST Assured will use when making this request.
    
    Parameters:
    mockMvc - The mock mvc instance to use.
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
  - webAppContextSetup
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification webAppContextSetup(org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext context)
```
    Build a MockMvc using the given, fully initialized, i.e. refreshed, WebApplicationContext and assign it to REST Assured. The org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet will use the context to discover Spring MVC infrastructure and application controllers in it. The context must have been configured with a ServletContext.
  - interceptor
```
MockMvcRequestSpecification interceptor(MockHttpServletRequestBuilderInterceptor interceptor)
```
    Intercept the MockHttpServletRequestBuilder created by REST Assured before it's used to perform the request.
    
    Parameters:
    interceptor - The interceptor
    
    Returns:
    The request specification
