Best Visual REST API Design Tool

Your Challenges

• Lack of way to design REST API. It's risky if not dangerous to go straight into the implementation of REST API without having a clear picture of the scope of the API.
• Lack of way to communicate REST API design ideas. It's difficult to discuss changes by reading text based content such as source code.
• Lack of effective way to keep track of the changes of API changes. While it's possible to keep track of changes through traditional concurrent versioning system, it's not easy to tell the rationale of changes. It is also difficult to project an easily understandable comparison between versions of changes.
• Lack of API document. Users of the API has no effective way to understand nor to utilize the API. A misuse of API may lead to problematic and unexpected outcome.

Team Collaboration

• Publish your REST API design online so that people approved can view the design online, any time and from anywhere.
• The comment tool allows people to, not only view the design but to leave comment right on the diagram. Designer can act upon requests, and then re-generate the API and documents.
• Versioning system helps to keep revisions for design changes.
• Built-in visual comparison tool allows the comparison of different phases of API design. You can easily see the rationale behind changes through the commit log. You can even revert and roll back changes.
• The branch and merge mechanism makes it simple to make independent and isolated changes.
• Team members can work together on the same design through the collaboration tools. They can commit and update changes without worry about conflicted changes because we our collaboration engine features a smart conflict resolution tool that can detects conflicts and assists you in resolving conflicts.
