Not bad but either not great
What do you like best? It is very helpful to handle multiple API version as separate project and update them. What do you dislike? The organization of the element once published is not the best. For instance if you want to and some description and a data model in the same view you simply can't. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? documentation of my API

NWEA Using Stoplight
What do you like best? The Ui makes it east to edit API's. Previously we were editing API specs via yaml files. What do you dislike? Poor integration with source control. Keeping the spec up to date is a manual process. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Managing API contracts

Wonderful product to use to define our API. Great doc experience for our customer base!
What do you like best? 1. We love how the API documentation is presented to our customers. It's a crisp clean interface that allows them to view, navigate and test our API with ease. For this alone, I wouldn't trade it for the world. 2. Very simple to deploy new changes What do you dislike? 1. It's been hard to implement its usage across our entire organization. Difficult user interface with high room for failure. Mistakes are easily corrected. 2. As we teach Stoplight internally ...

API Management is no longer a chore
What do you like best? The way that we can easily design our rest API, declaring our ressources and models, and mock this API via prism What do you dislike? Minor interfaces bug and refresh, we can't reorder scenario without going into scenario settings Maybe an API to get the swagger with a trigger on a change, in order to automatize the generation of controller in our backend when a change is made on the stoplight GraphQL implementation would be a big plus too Prism crash ...

Easy to use and efficient
What do you like best? How simple it is to navigate the interface. Able to quickly add documents and push to production. Stoplight allows me to reference a new document to replace existing content. This makes it particularly helpful with version control. What do you dislike? Hard to add media such as images. Often find it difficult to keep media organized in one location. Also difficult to update images without having to update it in various locations. Recommendations to others ...

Swagger made easy!
What do you like best? Swagger made easy, finally - no excuses now not to fully document APIs. UI is intuitive, no tutorials necessary. Haven't found a case that Stoplight documentation couldn't cover What do you dislike? There are some bugs with having to save a new definition before being able to update them. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? - Massively accelerates development, as it makes it so much faster for API developers ...

Stoplight makes documenting any REST API a lot easier.
What do you like best? Stoplight's rich set of features allows for editing by means of a GUI as well as integration in a GitHub-driven process (as in our case. The docs look a lot cleaner than before and the HTTP request maker gives our docs a component of interactivity. Also, the support team has been really helpful so far. What do you dislike? Nothing really to be disliked comes to mind, but of course, Stoplight being a work in progress, there are some features that are not quite ...
