    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.

    ReadyAPI and SwaggerHub are a match made in heaven. Being able to so easily import the API directly into ReadyAPI and then being able to generate a test suite from the API is my favorite part of these softwares. We have rather large services so building out the API can take some time

    • Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
    • API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
    • We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

    • The user interface could be more improved to sustain with other similar tools in the market.
    • Beneficial if we have better integration with third party softwares.
    • Nice to have ability to download the documentation in usable formats.

    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.

    The only other product we looked at was Postman. But we liked the SwaggerHub UI & the integrations it has with the AWS API gateway. Though Postman has some other great features like the ability to write test cases & execute them, SwaggerUI was more convenient to document & share them.
