Gherkin is a parser and compiler for the Gherkin language, which is a business-readable, domain-specific language that lets you describe software's behavior without detailing how that behavior is implemented. Gherkin serves two purposes: * It serves as your project's documentation * It serves as your project's automated tests Gherkin is written in the "Given-When-Then" style, which allows developers to write tests in plain English that stakeholders can understand. This is the official implementation from the Cucumber team, providing a reliable and well-maintained parser for BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) frameworks.
