What do you like best about Stoplight?

I find it really useful to be able to get feedback on the REST API as I am putting together a definition. I am not familiar with the DSL of Open API to the point where I could write correct OpenAPI from the start so I require linting tools. That is why I have used stoplight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

The most difficult thing for me to do on web was to bulk edit documents and then save them. I almost stopped using spotlight because it was not clear to me that the preferred tool is spotlight studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows me to draft OpenAPI documents and preview them. That's all I need in an open API tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
