RAML and Swagger have been merged to OpenAPI.
|
|
The OpenAPI Specification is becoming a broadly adopted industry standard for describing modern APIs.
|
|
|
|
OpenAPI v2 version is basically the former Swagger - and Swagger provides useful tools for OpenAPI like the online editor and viewer http://editor.swagger.io/
|
|
We have also found that this version currently have a good tool support accross languages, so you will find API client and server generation tools for a lot of languages, which makes it quite easy to connect to an API that is described in OpenAPI standard.

**OpenAPI v3**
|
|
|
|
OpenAPI v3 adds more features to the specification - for example the ability to describe APIs supporting request/callback pattern.
|
|
|
|
There is a very good api designer https://www.apicur.io/ and a good mock generator http://microcks.github.io/index.html

The general tool support is excellent. See https://openapi.tools/ |
