RAML - The Best API designing language **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Siva Krishna D. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2022 **What do you like best about RAML?** RAML is a RESTful API Modeling language that is used for API designing. RAML is readable by both humans and computers. In RAML designing, we can give API resources, media, methods, parameters, libraries, extensions, etc. RAML is used across many platforms, like anypoint platform for API designing. **What do you dislike about RAML?** RAML lacks robust documentation, has limited code reusability, and older versions are not supportable when a new version is created, like tooling support is not good compared to the latest version. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML is used for maintaining the API lifecycle from deploying to development. RAML is used in anypoint platform and supports many HTTP methods. RAML specification provides source code for clients and servers. ### 2. Best language for API design **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sai Meghana D. | Application Development Associate , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2022 **What do you like best about RAML?** RAML helps the developers in creating the initial structure of the API. RAML can also be used for documentation purposes. It also helps the client to know what the service is and what/how all operations are invoked. **What do you dislike about RAML?** Sometimes it requires schemas for all responses, and code reusability is low for some specifications. For robust RAML documentation, it needs better developer tools. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML can be imported while creating a new application from scratch, either from the local machine or Anypoint Desktop, to create flows and error handlers using APIKit module. I use RAML, which can be imported into existing applications. ### 3. Best specification Building tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Afreen F. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2022 **What do you like best about RAML?** It is YAML based language that is very easy to understand and write the specification. It is very helpful as it is reusable. We can reuse the same code for writing similar specifications for different projects. We get a lot of features like traits, examples, datatype, resorceType, Libraries which makes the code more readable and reusable. We also get mocking services which are very helpful for testing. We can also create proper documentation for the specific RAML specification to understand the technicality better. **What do you dislike about RAML?** We need to take care of indentation as it creates a lot of issues. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. API specification development. 2. For creating API fragments. 3. For creating API docs. 4. For using the mocking services for testing. 5.For creating the detailed documentation for the APIs. ### 4. Best Designing with RAML **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2022 **What do you like best about RAML?** RAML is easy to implement and design on Anypoint platform and very easy to understand and build API with the help of RAML. All features are available in RAML Design. **What do you dislike about RAML?** I really like the RAML design. But the only issue is it's not accepted by other systems like open API spec. which is widely use all over the world. But wee can also create API spec with OAS in mulesoft **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML helps to create the API Spec for mulesoft API. Its very good and readable format which is easy to read the API spec and understand the API from the scratch. ### 5. API fragments in RAML **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mehak B. | Lead Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 30, 2021 **What do you like best about RAML?** We can segregate the components of RAML as API fragments and utilize those fragments in multiple API designs. Easy to learn. Easy to undersatand than OAS due to API fragments. **What do you dislike about RAML?** Sensitive indentation. We cannot include Example files inside Library fragment. SecurityScheme doesn't include clientid authentication. This can be included to avoid using traits for this feature. **Recommendations to others considering RAML:** RAML is easy to understand language for API designing. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML is very easy to lern in comparison with OAS. So, for designing APIs we use RAML in mulesoft. Due to the reusablity of fragments, it becomes easier to use RAML ### 6.

RAML- The API Blueprint **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shubham C. | Integration Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2020 **What do you like best about RAML?** RAML- is an easy to learn self descriptive language for api. The api can be modelled perfectly according to the RAML specifications. RAML comes up with predefined functions which are very much up to the standards **What do you dislike about RAML?** RAML can expand itself to get into some more data manipulation. **Recommendations to others considering RAML:** Overall RAML is a beautiful language to work with and easy to use. I would recommend the use of RAML anyday. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** The business problem that we are trying to find the perfect solution is related to an e-commerce site where it has to be interactive to the backend systems. The RAML specifications helped us in getting to the specification of the backend system that can be implemented or that can fit in pretty comfortably to new changes. ### 21. API design professional experience with leading API development technology. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2020 **What do you like best about RAML?** I like RAML because, it gives a flexibility to the developer to customise micro services into convenient way. Designing specification follows a simple YAML structure(well known industry approach) which is easy for anybody to understand as it just contains nouns(i.e. resources) and verbs(i.e methods). RAML is strongly capable to support Security traits and schemes which can be appleid at different levels of API, example API level, resource level and method level. Modularisation: RAML is pretty much easy to define specification into individual modules such as fragments(nothing but a common module), traits, resources types, datatypes and as an API. This helps in de-coupling the specification to reduce unnecessary dependencies and keep the API clean for easy understanding. **What do you dislike about RAML?** There are very few areas where a developer dislike RAML constraints, below are the couple of them that I feel, 1. no easy way of defining an API to accept conditional input parameter set to apply in various scenarios(either or way). A complex schema datatype approach has to be followed in order to customer conditional types. 2. type, required constraints on parent fields when a child datatype inherit properties from parent **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use RAML specification to develop API micro services. We often saw there were quite a few challenges with our consumers while implementing micro services with out defining a proper contract(i.e API specification) in place. It was really tough for us to co-ordinate with our clients sometimes everytime when we implement new APIs are introduce breaking changes to existing services. RAML is much more comfortable for easy specification design and get it agreed with counter parties as the specification itself is self explanatory, no need an API developer to walk through that with others. ### 22. RAML basic and important step for REST API **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ganga M. | Mulesoft Certified Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2020 **What do you like best about RAML?** Highly readble by Humans and Computers.It focuses on cleanly describing resources, methods, parameters,responses, mediatype. **What do you dislike about RAML?** Limited code reuse/extensions, Lacks strong documentation. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML is the first step of our REST API design, before completing the code in IDE, one can check how the design is working in RAMl through API console and test. ### 23. RAML is easy to parse and easy to visualise **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Balint T. | Mulesoft Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2020 **What do you like best about RAML?** Optional fields, easy to read for humans **What do you dislike about RAML?** Indentation is just super annoying makes debugging a badly formatted RAML a nightmare. **Recommendations to others considering RAML:** If it fits your company's ecosystem then there is no downside. **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** RAML is used to describe REST API interfaces. A properly written RAML is the documentation for the API itself. This can decouple the development of the API and its clients as the interface is enough for a kickstart. ### 24. Raml is decribing language for interface. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pallavi M. | System Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2020 **What do you like best about RAML?** Raml is the most describing language ever .Though the user donf have the idea about a particular api ,raml descibe the why we are using it,what is the need of and what response we need ut,Raml decribe in easily so common people can relate it. **What do you dislike about RAML?** I used raml for developing api,and while i didnt dislike it **What problems is RAML solving and how is that benefiting you?** The description is the best part of raml where i can mention the particular reason of every methods. ### 25.
