I like the ease of sharing and viewing the different parameters for an API Endpoint. I like also being able to Share request bodies. Comparing this to Swagger, I have a hard time opting for a manual option that I have to keep updating to document my APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Stoplight? I wish there were source control of versions, so once you publish you can go back to previous versions. I don't like having to manually update things in multiple place. I would like to be able to use sharable sub-objects. So if one object uses same properties of another (but not ALL the properties are the same) i want to be able to reference a sharable sub-object. I also would appreciate better documentation on how to utilize "examples". Also would like a way to configure bearer auth so I can send requests from stoplight application itself to my endpoints. I also would like better editing abilities for the "Description" side of stoplight - - line breaks do not format well and everything appears on one line. I don't like that you have to "overwrite" the entire schema for a request/response body -- this wipes out any description or lengths I have manually put in, and adding every new field one by one is tedious when I am adding multiple at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you? Spotlight is helping bridge the contract gap between the UI team and API teams within our organization. I do think it takes away productivity having to spend so much time manually updating the spec. I would love to be able to import my postman tests to have it auto-document endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
