mixerapi VS cakephp-swagger-bake

This https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake and this https://mixerapi.com have been the result of my work.

Someone mentioned API Platform earlier, I had such a bad experience with it (Symfony is fine btw) that I wrote this built on CakePHP.... https://mixerapi.com

FWIW, your code is powering a widely used US federal government application so you can hang your hat on that. Plus it was inspiration for me creating this: https://mixerapi.com

The experience was so bad IMO and I had so much time on my hands with the pandemic that I created this out of spite: https://mixerapi.com

I use it for this project much smaller project and am happy with the search: https://mixerapi.com

Github: https://github.com/mixerapi/mixerapi

I do work in that space. I build APIs and I use them. I built a springdoc for php so I know a bit about what I am talking about: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake

The Postman UX is not good on it. It's easy to get lost in tabs, they should ditch the tabs and categorize requests under the actual endpoint. There is also no way to easily save like requests and give them better names that is also searchable. It's also built on electron which means its slow and clunky.

There is nothing good in this space. Swagger would do it if they let you save requests to local browser storage and just added a history dropdown to the endpoints. I use swagger and save common requests to a file system and open them in sublime. if its just JSON payloads I am working with it does the job.

This can easily integrate into your existing github actions, here is an example of its usage on a project I maintain: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake

https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake which builds out openapi from your cakephp applications meta data. One of many projects I took up to occupy myself during covid lockdowns.

Really anything modern works. I thought Laravel was supposed to be easy to learn, but I have only poked around. Symfony is fine, I've done a lot in it. I've used CakePHP a ton and as a shameless promotion I built this OpenAPI/Swagger/Redoc generator for it: https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-swagger-bake/ and if my side project was further a long I'd of course recommend: https://mixerapi.com buts its still alpha.
