Helping promote API-first design and addressing deficiencies
What do you like best? The collaborative OAS API design features of Stoplight have be extremely valuable in prompting our team to address API deficiencies for several of our services. Teams can be formed and assigned to specific APIs being developed for the organization. The tool itself has enabled our teams to address missing or deficient APIs for several services, and to do so in an OAS compliant way. In most cases, the services were pre-existing but had no (or limited) API. Stoplight ...

Complete API Documentation platform
What do you like best? After evaluating several products to document multiple REST APIs - Postman, Swagger, API Blueprint and the main differentiator for me were: - the ability to mix OAS-style documentation and Markdown pages, giving a one-stop tool to write the entire API documentation. - a nice editor for the OAS doc, which offers both a UI and a way to edit JSON data directly The team was very responsive to questions during the trial, and after becoming a paying customer. ...

What ...
