Stoplight
Stoplight is a platform for API design, documentation, and governance that helps teams create, manage, and collaborate on APIs using the OpenAPI Specification. It provides tools for designing APIs visually, generating documentation automatically, and ensuring consistency across API projects. The platform supports API mocking, testing, and versioning to streamline the development lifecycle.
Developers should learn Stoplight when working in API-first development environments, especially in teams that need to standardize API design and improve collaboration between frontend and backend developers. It is particularly useful for creating well-documented, consistent APIs in microservices architectures or when integrating multiple services, as it reduces errors and speeds up development through automated workflows.
