Disclaimer - I work at Postman. IMHO this is a lot of learning overhead. Postman allows me to design and mock APIs by simply adding my request and saving the example responses I would like my endpoints to return. The request/response format is what is natural to a web developer and does not need learning another DDL like RAML or OpenAPI/Swagger. The mock url generated can be directly consumed by anyone without needing any local setup and allows decoupling the consumers of the API from the service deployment allowing parallel development tracks i.e being agile. The documentation comes out of the box when you create anything in Postman and can be shared with your API consumers. I can then use the same Postman Collection to debug and test my APIs and eventually make it a part of my CI/CD process using their Newman CLI tool or just creating a Postman monitor which runs the API specification with tests on a pre defined schedule and notifies you when the tests fail or experience latency issues in production. https://www.getpostman.com/products |
