Is there any way to test rest Webservices in SAP?
I know it's possible to test SOAP Webservices with eCATT but to do that a WSDL file is needed.
The Problem with rest Webservices is, there is no such WSDL file.
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming from your question that you'd like to test the service from within your SAP system rather than by using an external tool.
If you have access to a system that has the Gateway components deployed, you can use the Gateway client (transaction code /IWFND/GW_CLIENT). It provides a very similar set of functionality to Postman, Paw, et al.
You can use some rest clients available on the browsers:
Postman -> Chrome
RESTClient -> Firefox
Futhermore, if you need a more robust client, you can use SoapUI. See this link.
You may use Fiddler.
Here is detailed instructions on how to test a web service (I know the instructions are for asp.net web services but the Fiddler part should work for any web services).

I hava a romote soap webservices wsdl and I need to consume it to publish as a rest api (json). I am using ubuntu 18. what do I have to downlaod and How can I use wso2 to publish remote SOAP wsdl to REST APIs?
You could probably solve the problem with either API Manager or Enterprise Integrator. However if you are just exposing one API to your mobile app, both of these products would probably be serious overkill.
When you have soap webservice, you can always use soapui to create test xml requests for manual interface tests. You insert you test data into the xml document and send the request to the soap provider. You can then analyse the response in soapui.
We are currently thinking about switching from soap with xml to grpc with protobuf3. Is there a test gui for grpc that offers features as described above for grpc?
I don't think the equivalent tooling is readily available, but we do continuously try to improve the state of tooling for gRPC and Protocol Buffers.
In the meantime, there is grpc_cli project that might be immediately helpful, and gives you an idea if you want to build your own similar tool.
You could use https://kreya.app, which is a gRPC GUI client, very similar to SoapUI for SOAP services (or Postman for REST services).

What happens when we do not use REST api to build a web application? And also please tell how to build a web service using REST api in PHP.
What happens when we do not use REST api to build a web application?
Nothing, you can do your project with or without REST API. Assume you are running a restaurant and you want to attach with online food service like Foodpanda,zomato you need to provide an API to interact your data without any user interface which can be done easily using REST.
Why do we need RESTful web services?
REST should be used if it is very important for you to minimize the coupling between client and server components in a distributed application. [read more]

There are many resources available in internet. Here I found something related to PHP
PHP RESTful Web Service
We are integrating our software with another company using a webservice. They created a SOAP web service which we now need to test.
I'm trying to write a java program with Eclipse IDE. When creating a web service client, I enter the wsdl:
[https://xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/index.php/gt/property/soap?wsdl]*
but I keep getting a message that states: The service definition is invalid.
Any ideas as to why this would be or any links I could check out would be appreciated. I have searched but haven't found anything that helped me yet.
Thanks!
If you are going for a Java program you could use,
Web service client given WSDL
But if you just want to test the web service, you could always use program like SoapUI
Hi I need to use REST web service but not getting how to start. Although I have checked different articles but there is no proper example which tells flow of REST SERVER and REST CLIENT. Is there any good example link which tells how a REST server will be created with php and how this web service will be called with which technique. I need web service to show customers and then update customers using web service as well. I need to create my own web service for my application so I need to create both Rest server and Rest client.
Thanks

REST isn't a technology, it's a style of software architecture
If you want some concrete examples and a simple framework to get started, try cherrypy, which is a minimal web framework written in python.
This should get you started with a web server that can help you adhere to REST design principles.
