The most complete API design tool available

What do you like best? Automatic contract testing is a must for an API design first workflow. Beautiful published documentation, very convenient visual OAS editor. Based on GIT, including versioning. What do you dislike? No OAS3 support yet. No pull requests/comments support yet. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? A single source of truth for API design, testing, documentation & mocking.

Simple collaborative swagger lifecycle

What do you like best? It's a great collaborative tool for front and back end developers and testers. We use swagger as the main contract to define back end services and models, so it allows us to quickly get a spec prior to development. We find that the editor really simplifies swagger management and history. We also really like the testing capabilities so that backend engineers are encouraged to write integration tests as part of their development and save these so that we can run tests ...

Beautiful and usable documentation caught our eye, design and testing hooked us

What do you like best? Ultimately the time required for developers to put together specifications, testing, and documentation has been decreased dramatically since starting to use Stoplight. Developers never like dealing with this necessary part of collaborating, but the Stoplight's UI allows us to create great OpenAPI specs make that process more standardized and consistent across the team which ultimately led to greater developer velocity as a whole. What do you dislike? It's Next ...
