Hoppscotch vs. Postman: a guide to open source API testing

Hoppscotch is an open-source tool designed for developing and testing APIs, offering options for setup through a desktop application or a web client. It supports testing of REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs, allowing users to craft requests and interact with APIs effectively. Comparatively, Postman provides additional functionalities like creating mock servers and simulating real-world usage, requiring subscription for some features, while OpenAPI DevTools focuses on monitoring web applications' interactions with APIs, offering OpenAPI Specification generation but lacking the ability to craft API requests. Both Postman and OpenAPI DevTools serve as complementary alternatives to Hoppscotch, each providing unique advantages depending on user needs.
