GraphQL Zeus vs Postman: What are the differences?

Developers describe GraphQL Zeus as "Autocomplete client library with strong GraphQL typed queries *". It is a simple tool working in Node.js & browser to generate an auto-complete client library for Javascript or Typescript. It creates its own specification along with type-safe completion of request & responses. On the other hand, *Postman** is detailed 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.

GraphQL Zeus and Postman can be categorized as "API" tools.

GraphQL Zeus is an open source tool with 406 GitHub stars and 4 GitHub forks. Here's a link to GraphQL Zeus's open source repository on GitHub.

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.

I recommend Postman because it's easy to use with history option. Also, it has very great features like runner, collections, test scripts runners, defining environment variables and simple exporting and importing data.

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.
