Pros
Easier API Design: Users have consistently found that designing APIs with the tool is made easier due to its ability to define API contracts using simple YAML file definitions. This simplifies and streamlines the design process, resulting in more efficient development.
Hassle-free Documentation: Many reviewers appreciate how the tool eliminates the hassle of documenting REST service/APIs. Its auto-generated code capability automates the documentation process, saving time and effort for users.
Seamless Integration: The tool seamlessly integrates with popular repositories like Bitbucket and AWS API Gateway, making it versatile for streamlining development and sharing APIs across multiple departments and developers. This integration enhances collaboration and efficiency within organizations.
SwaggerHub is used in our organization to document our APIs and build out the models for them. This helps our entire team, by keeping them updated and know which resources we have and what to expect back from them. My favorite problem that this addresses is our testing. We can easily import the API into ReadyAPI and build out our tests directly from that, without having to build out an API at that step.
Pros
Designing APIs
Documenting APIs
Helps all devs stay up to date
Cons
I have been told that the models take quite some time to build out
Would love to see some more capability on import, as far as adding variables into endpoints
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
