Blackbird API Development vs. RAML Comparison Chart

A simple but powerful syntax for modelling APIs. RAML enables rapid development of APIs using an approachable syntax, which can scale from hobby project to enterprise application. RAML lets you see what your API looks like as you design it, using easy to read plain text. Without having to write a single line of code you can not only perfect your API design, but also create a fully functional mock for customers, partners, or even your own internal engineers to review and build off of. RAML enables developers and engineers to do what they do best – write code. No more guesswork or getting halfway through your API only to realize the design doesn’t work or is inconsistent. You can also reduce your time to market (and bug based headaches) by using the many tools available to help you generate the general structure of your API from your RAML files. Say goodbye to spending hours writing and maintaining API documentation.
