Automation Test for REST APIs in Java and Node.js

Hi team,

In manual testing, the REST API applications developed in Java, Node.js, etc. are also tested for different correct and incorrect input writing test cases in JUNIT, SpringRunner etc. I expect the application either displays the correct data according to the input or shows the error message. Therefore, in automatic testing, I would like to do the same and test the function of the application automatically along with the reports. I am not seeking here any service testing. I wonder SoapUI community version allows to design automated functional testing, for the test cases written in JUNIT classes or SoapUI xml files. Also, please highlight the differences between community and licensed version scope, and the limitations in automation test.
Thank you.
