Postman vs Dandelion: What are the differences?

Developers describe Postman as "Only complete API development environment". Postman is the only complete API development environment, used by nearly five million developers and more than 100,000 companies worldwide. On the other hand, Dandelion is detailed as "Semantic Text Analytics as a service". It is a semantic Text Analytics API. From text to actionable data, extract meaning from unstructured text and put it in context with a simple API.

Postman and Dandelion can be primarily classified as "API" tools.

Some of the features offered by Postman are:

  • Compact layout
  • HTTP requests with file upload support
  • Formatted API responses for JSON and XML

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

  • ENTITY EXTRACTION
  • SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
  • ARTICLE EXTRACTION

Dandelion is an open source tool with 24 GitHub stars and 11 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Dandelion's open source repository on GitHub.

Swagger UISwagger UI

From a StackShare Community member: "I just started working for a start-up and we are in desperate need of better documentation for our API. Currently our API docs is in a README.md file. We are evaluating Postman and Swagger UI. Since there are many options and I was wondering what other StackSharers would recommend?"

I use Postman because of the ease of team-management, using workspaces and teams, runner, collections, environment variables, test-scripts (post execution), variable management (pre and post execution), folders (inside collections, for better management of APIs), newman, easy-ci-integration (and probably a few more things that I am not able to recall right now).

I use Swagger UI because it's an easy tool for end-consumers to visualize and test our APIs. It focuses on that ! And it's directly embedded and delivered with the APIs. Postman's built-in tools aren't bad, but their main focus isn't the documentation and also, they are hosted outside the project.

Insomnia REST ClientInsomnia REST Client

Postman supports automation and organization in a way that Insomnia just doesn't. Admittedly, Insomnia makes it slightly easy to query the data that you get back (in a very MongoDB-esque query language) but Postman sets you up to develop the code that you would use in development/testing right in the editor.
