What do you like best? The ability for us to quickly build out our internal API documentation for developer consumption. What do you dislike? Sometimes the UI can be slightly buggy (especially when adding nested pages). What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Friendly GUI for API first developement

What do you like best? As a Technical writer I need a friendly tool, with an easy-to-use interface so I can better collaborate with the development teams in the development and review of the documentation of our APIs. Its integration with Git allows teams to collaborative in a coordinated way. What do you dislike? Stoplight seems to be an immature tool yet, so now and them I stumble upon errors, or I miss things that I think should be there already. For example, I’ve noticed than when ...

Stoplight generates great API docs and support is great

What do you like best? We went with Stoplight for the multi-language code generator. The developers love it. What do you dislike? No major issues. OpenAPI is complicated and Stoplight does a good job of making it easy to work with. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It generates extremely useful interactive documentation from our Swagger JSON with minimal time and effort on our part.

Best way to document and test an API yet.

What do you like best? Stoplight provides a clean user interface and enables an engineering team to develop a compliant API with minimal difficulty. Other tools don't provide the same details, guard rails, and error validation that Stoplight provides. I can feel that Stoplight is made by API developers for API developers as opposed to either an experienced PM fresh out of college, or a hyper-detailed API wonk for whom working in the flat file itself would be more ideal. What do you ...
