It is best suited if you want to build a tool for internal use purpose. It is even better suited if you have your data in Google Sheets. You can build apps with functionlity of CRUD where you can not just view but modify and add new entries so you can make good internal CRM tool or HR tool or anything that you need with the flexibility that Appsmith offers.

To my opinion Swagger Open Source is a very good tool to quickly produce an api documentation, that how I use it.Swagger can also produce an open api file to generate an api for our application server (Inersystems Iris) but we don't use this functionality for now. We plan to use more Swagger features in the future.

Cons
Appsmith
  • UI could be more responsive. Its bit hassle to create a UI which would fit mobile devices.
  • If there are multiple UI blocks it gets cumbersome to adjust their size and appearance as you have to do it one by one.

We use swagger only to generate the API documentation, for testing the APIs, we use Postman. We don't find an other tools for producing API documentation in web pages and also in pdf files. Postman is a good complement for testing APIs on InterSystems IRIS (a powerful application server and DB manager) which implements these APIs.
