I’ve been a Postman user for my entire developer career. I remember when it was just a simple Chrome extension that made pentesting APIs slightly less painful. Those were simpler times. Today, I find myself joining the growing exodus of developers abandoning these tools because they sell out.
Our team lives in Git, our communication is happening on slack, our docs written and maintained on confluence and after some time they always drift away from the actual requests inside Postman.
So we built and open sourced Voiden a few months ago: an API tool where all that: specs, tests, context and docs are always together in the same executable plain text file (markdown). We also made this Git native so that every change is versioned and tracked just like code.
The last change we have made is to add a Runner so that one can run the files directly from the terminal and CI/CD pipelines.
here is the tool: https://voiden.md/download repo: https://github.com/VoidenHQ/voiden
welcome to try and give feedback!
That looks pretty nice. The documentation said it fears me.
