- The ability to integrate APIs without much programming experience
- Its available across all major operating systems. I am a Linux user and sometimes I find software I want to use but it's only available on Windows and Mac
- The tutor needs improvement.
- Takes long to install.
- Integrating business apps
- Building and documenting APIs
It is loaded with lots of features and makes working on API really easy.
At first, working through lots of features was a bit overwhelming.
Really great software to use however the documentation is not done properly for starters. Need to hustle a little at first but once used it will be easy.
Being a front end focused developer, It has been really easy working on API management.
- browsing function
- export your idea in all styles (CMD, HTTP, Rest API , messaging )
- almost support everything starts from simple processing input up to complicated event-driven like Kafka and JMS.
- user interface and smart help in the right almost guider not help.
- support database in all type SQL , NoSQL.
sometimes I need to restart because some dropdown list not shown
I'm a developer at the end I like the source option near design so it will be great if I have a configuration option that builds everything (I things they have !? )
I work with Martian and try to build some functions and connect them using Messaging (Kafka) my idea I try to build a microservice using this framework the flow is fast so I thank I will stop writing code when doing any small services again
1. Easy to register and verified an account
2. There is a reminder to scroll the agreement. Make sure everyone reads the license agreement. Scroll first, then pick I accept the agreement and click next.
3. Big plus is documenting, testing, securing, transaction, and creating a report for an API. It was very complete documentation and easy process.
1. Downloading io.toro.martini.desktop.product-win32.win32.x86_64.zip. Prefer to download it first then locate the downloaded file, because the file is more than 900MB.
2. There was a different path, invoke name and step, create an endpoint, and screenshot animation guide to complete between the tutorial and the latest martini desktop from the website.
3. Other than miss-information, it works superbly. For the difference and the problem I faced in documentation, I had to find the solution by myself and feel which one is right.
I got confused about how to develop an API because I never do how to do it. While it has so many tab views, it was an easy journey to develop an API. I had used API management tools based on web-based before, but it needs big hardware specs. This one is far more light than other tools accessed by web or standalone applications. I highly recommended Martini.
Martini comes with a complete package for the software engineers to Create APIs, manage the security, connect with third-party systems, acquiring database connections.
Following are the key feature I liked the most.
- Overall development time got reduced as now the whole process can be completed in 30-40 minutes max.
- We can add documentation and it creates API's equivalent Swagger, OpenAPI, and Postman definitions.
- We can create production-ready endPoints within a few minutes.
- Provides Report for a better understanding of the development made.
The Documentation provided by Martini is efficient and easy to follow, however, some of the pictures are shown from the previous version. Since the screen hasn't changed a lot, the guide can be corrected later also.
I would recommend adding validation checks in some of the places like if we select field of type integer and we are passing string value, It should say "Field not valid for type - Integer" instead of number format exception. It is again not a functional issue and can be treated as an enhancement.
Teams!! TORO Cloud is even faster than making an API call.
Please use the software to integrate with your third party system.
It is the future of the API.
I was solving the problem of creating an API for me and documenting the swagger for it as I was having ver less time for the developement.
As a developer, it will make your life way more easier if you have to deal with multiple platform API integrations.
I am still learning the full power of it. It is fully feature-packed and rich still has a minimal learning curve.
The beginner guide comes with all the instructions you need to get started, and all the tools are also integrated inside the IDE. Aslo the IDE is based on popular eclipse IDE.
Support integration with services that necessary like, RDMS and JMS
A little counterintuitive for beginner
The local server took way too much time to start (macOS)
This helps in Integration with multiple platforms without writing too much core code.
They manage all the API endpoint/integration points in an organized way.
Martini is a wonderful low code API management for anyone with little coding experience looking to implement backend services without the hustle of actually learning to code or for a seasoned developer who likes to write as little code as possible. If, on the other hand, you love coding, this is probably not for you. I think it's really feature-rich, implementing some complex concepts like OAuth 2.0 authentication in the blink of an eye. If you get used to it, you'll develop backend services in record time compared to actually coding everything yourself.
Some of the GIFs in the tutorial were outdated. I'd recommend switching from GIFs to videos, so one doesn't have to watch it all over again every time you want to check something. Also, the UI feels somewhat outdated. A nicer one would be appreciated
It allows to lightning-fast speed of development of backend services, enabling people with low coding experience or interest to implement backend solutions with lots of features.
With no doubt, I believe Martini is part of the future software engineering. Creating APIs, managing their security, generating database connections, etc., is no longer an annoyingly long process with a lot of issues on the way. By using Martini, the cost of creating a project is significantly reduced therefore creating more opportunities for creative thought processes and innovations. The diversity of features in Martini is something I found the most fascinating. Another great thing is its documentation, which is simple and very useful for use. I haven’t come across the question (which occurs rarely), that I couldn’t solve within 2-3 minutes of searching. Since I have discovered Martini, it became my go-to API development tool.
Although the documentation for Martini is efficient and easy to use, some parts require an image update since the new version came out. This wasn’t a major issue; since it only took a few more seconds to figure out the small changes that have occurred.
Me having a low experience in enterprise API development, Martini has created a really great opportunity for me to work in this field and not stay behind other professionals. It boosted my confidence and added more skills to my resume.
I like the Martini IDE so much. It's straightforward, avoids the problems of setting up your environment, and you can start working with the code right away in seconds and bring up the API and dashing, which I love the most.
The documentation needs to be updated as per the latest IDE options, which I feel is not updated, and some UI improvements to the IDE would be great.

According to my experience, there is nothing that feels my dislike for this tool, but there is a small thing which should be improved that sometimes cursor was not there in input fields
It's the best tool for you if you want to increase the speed of your development
You can do anything you want to do with this tool related to the development, and I used this for API's related thing and found this very useful for my tasks
