Mock/it vs RAML: What are the differences?

What is Mock/it? Dead Simple API Mocking. Mocking accelerates your development by building against a stand-in API. Ideal for mocking RESTful services or decoupling your client from an external API dependency. Setup a mock endpoint in seconds by claiming a custom sub-domain and inviting teammates to collaborate.

What is RAML? RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) makes it easy to manage the whole API lifecycle from design to sharing. RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) makes it easy to manage the whole API lifecycle from design to sharing. It's concise - you only write what you need to define - and reusable. It is machine readable API design that is actually human friendly.

Mock/it and RAML can be categorized as "API" tools.

Some of the features offered by Mock/it are:

  • Dedicated subdomains
  • Unlimited teammates
  • No coding required

On the other hand, RAML provides the following key features:

  • Create and pull in namespaced, reusable libraries, containing data types
  • Annotations let you add vendor specific functionality without compromising your spec
  • Traits and resource Types let you take advantage of code reuse and design patterns
