What do you like best about Stoplight?

The UI is very easy to use for API configuration. Error reporting is intuitive and well-designed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

I'd like an option to convert open API 3.0 to 3.1 etc... If that option exists I haven't been able to find it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a custom display for our documentation for users, so I don't use that bit from stoplight, but the open API JSON spec is a bit intimidating (lots available to config) and I love being able to jump back and forth between the form UI and JSON editor. It's helped me connect the dots between configurable options and the JSON spec Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had an issue trying to change my user name in Stoplight. It was a long process because I couldn't connect using the email address I wanted.
