Selfie: snapshot testing and memoizing for Java, Kotlin, and the JVM

Key features

Just add a test dependency, zero setup, zero config.
Snapshots can be inline literals or on disk.
Use expectSelfie for testing or cacheSelfie for memoizing expensive API calls.
Disk snapshots are automatically garbage collected when the test class or test method is removed.
Snapshots are just strings. Use html, json, markdown, whatever. No magic serializers.
Record multiple facets of the entity under test, e.g. for a web request...
- store the HTML as one facet
- store HTML-rendered-to-markdown as another facet
- store cookies in another facet
- assert some facets on disk, others inline
- see gif above for live demo, detailed example here

JVM only for now, python is in progress, other platforms on the way: js, .NET, go, ...
