RAML Reviews & Product Details

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it requires schemas for all responses, and code reusability is low for some specifications. For robust RAML documentation, it needs better developer tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to take care of indentation as it creates a lot of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating and generating documentation offered by RAML and defining API functions and methods based on various filter conditions. Its also cost efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is not very intuitive and has a learning curve to adapt. Some of the complex implementations where reusable components are being called via an exchange seem slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best thing I like about designing API through RAML is ease of readibility. Its so easy to understand.

It offers reusability as well which is very important for fast paced development.

Mocking an API is also very good feaature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bad support.

Very less documentations and articles which can help online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RAML is well-document and very easy to learn. The ability to document REST APIs in a readable language and generate test mocks is extremely valuable for my teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have experienced a few situations where RAML was not quite flexible enough to meet our needs for very specific scenarios. In general, this is not an issue, but it can be difficult to work through when it does happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
