Insomnia REST Client vs WSO2: What are the differences?

What is Insomnia REST Client? The most intuitive cross-platform REST API Client 😴. Insomnia is a powerful REST API Client with cookie management, environment variables, code generation, and authentication for Mac, Window, and Linux.

What is WSO2? A comprehensive middleware platform that is open source with no gimmicks. It delivers the only complete open source middleware platform. With its revolutionary componentized design, it is also the only open source platform-as-a-service for private and public clouds available today. With it, seamless migration and integration between servers, private clouds, and public clouds is now a reality.

Insomnia REST Client and WSO2 can be primarily classified as "API" tools.

Some of the features offered by Insomnia REST Client are:

  • Mac, Windows and Linux
  • Data import/export
  • SSL client certificates

On the other hand, WSO2 provides the following key features:

  • 100% Open Source
  • Largest Platform Built on Single Code Base
  • Cloud Enabled

Insomnia REST Client and WSO2 are both open source tools. It seems that Insomnia REST Client with 10.9K GitHub stars and 634 forks on GitHub has more adoption than WSO2 with 321 GitHub stars and 460 GitHub forks.

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.
