Supports local API request debugging.
A more user-friendly interface than Swagger.
Simpler to use than Postman.

"Would combining Swagger and Postman make a better tool?"

"As a developer, I've been thinking a lot about what Swagger actually brings to the table — and why tools like Postman still don’t quite meet the needs of developers who care about both testing and documentation.

So I asked myself: what if we just combine the two? That idea became Fire-Doc.

I wanted something simple: test an API right away, no need to install heavy tools. Just open and go. And once you're done testing, it should instantly generate the API docs — without having to write a bunch of annotations or boilerplate code.

In the time it takes Swagger to generate a doc, I could’ve already tested and shipped the endpoint. That’s the inefficiency I wanted to fix."

Would it be better to combine Swagger and Postman into one tool?

Recently, I found that Swagger is not always satisfactory to me during development, and Postman also needs to be downloaded and logged in, so I thought about developing a lightweight interface debugging tool that combines the functions of Swagger and Postman.
